It is used to give the sentences some form of emotion or sometimes soften the tone. The proper usage comes naturally....is very difficult to explain.
But examples below:
eg.
啊! 下雨了！ oh ! It is raining!
可以啊。sure (more friendly tone)
哎呀! 好痛啊! ouch! it hurts!
哎呀!不好啦! oh no, something is wrong.
And as mentioned by @niuniu1013, it is optional. :)

啊、呀、呐通常放在句尾当作语气助词，可以在句尾加上也可以不加，不会影响句子的意思，上个问题的啊、呀都可以去掉意思不变。

we put 啊呀呐 at the end of the sentence，and the meaning is the same whether or not you use it
