What do you call...

Hi everyone,

What do you call these in English?

Oops
Wow
Oh
Huh
Whoa

And also could you give me more and tell where can I use them?
Thanks

All of these can be used alone or at the beginning of a sentence: "Oops"- When you or someone else makes a mistake but mostly when you (yourself) makes the mistake. "Oh Huh" is also used when you or someone else makes a mistake. But like any situation, it may be impolite to point out someone elses mistake.

  • "Wow" - When you see or hear something amazing "Whoa" - has many uses - Like above when you see something amazing - or when someone says something amazing or bad - this expression needs vocal inflection to help determine the meaning - It originally comes from a verbal expression used to stop a horse
