NOTE.—Very rarely like is found with a verb following, but this is not considered good usage: for example,—
A timid, nervous child, like Martin was.—Mayhew.
Through which they put their heads, like the Gauchos do through their cloaks.—Darwin.
Like an arrow shot
From a well-experienced archer hits the mark.
—Shakespeare.
INTERJECTIONS.
Definition.
334. Interjections are exclamations used to express emotion, and are not parts of speech in the same sense as the words we have discussed; that is, entering into the structure of a sentence.
Some of these are imitative sounds; as, tut! buzz! etc.
Humph! attempts to express a contemptuous nasal utterance that no letters of our language can really spell.
