What is a sensory adjective?

A sensory adjective is a word that describes something using one of the five senses: sight, sound, touch, taste, or smell.

Here's a breakdown:

* Sight: Visual adjectives describe what something looks like. Examples include: *bright*, *colorful*, *dull*, *shiny*, *jagged*, *smooth*.

* Sound: Auditory adjectives describe what something sounds like. Examples include: *loud*, *quiet*, *hissing*, *crashing*, *melodious*, *raspy*.

* Touch: Tactile adjectives describe what something feels like. Examples include: *rough*, *soft*, *smooth*, *warm*, *cold*, *spiky*, *slimy*.

* Taste: Gustatory adjectives describe what something tastes like. Examples include: *sweet*, *sour*, *salty*, *bitter*, *spicy*, *savory*, *fruity*.

* Smell: Olfactory adjectives describe what something smells like. Examples include: *fragrant*, *pungent*, *sweet*, *sour*, *musty*, *floral*, *earthy*.

Sensory adjectives are powerful tools in writing because they bring descriptions to life and allow the reader to experience the world through the senses.

Here are some examples of sensory adjectives in sentences:

* "The bright sun shone on the sparkling ocean." (Sight)

* "The thunderous roar of the lion echoed through the jungle." (Sound)

* "The soft fur of the kitten felt warm against my cheek." (Touch)

* "The delicious aroma of freshly baked cookies filled the kitchen." (Smell)

* "The tart lemon juice made my mouth pucker." (Taste)
