Descriptive Sentence Writing Using the Five Senses

In this assignment, you will practice writing descriptive sentences by adding adjectives that appeal to the five senses: smell, touch, sight, sound, and taste. Using adjectives helps your reader imagine what you are describing more clearly. For each question, read the simple sentence and rewrite it by adding at least one adjective that describes how something looks, smells, feels, sounds, or tastes.

Rewrite each sentence below by adding at least one adjective that describes something using one of the five senses (smell, touch, sight, sound, or taste). Underline the adjective(s) you add.

The bread is on the table.

The dog barked.

The flower grew in the garden.

The soup was in the bowl.

The wind blew through the trees.
