How do you change laughter into a verb?

You can change "laughter" into a verb in a couple of ways:

1. Use the noun as a verb directly:

* "She laughed at his joke, and he laughed back." In this case, "laugh" is already a verb, but you can replace it with the noun "laughter" in a similar way.

* "The comedian's jokes laughter the entire audience." While grammatically correct, this usage is highly informal and could sound odd.

2. Use a verb that implies laughter:

* "Her jokes always chuckle the crowd." Instead of directly using "laughter," you can use a verb like "chuckle," "giggle," or "guffaw" that suggests laughter.

* "The funny video mirthfully filled the room." "Mirthfully" is an adverb suggesting joy and laughter, while "filled" acts as the verb.

3. Use a verb phrase:

* "They shared laughter and stories around the campfire." While "laughter" is still a noun here, the phrase "shared laughter" implies a shared act of laughing.

* "His jokes always elicit laughter from the crowd." "Elicit" is a verb meaning to draw out a response, in this case laughter.

The best way to change "laughter" into a verb depends on the context and desired tone of your writing.
