🧠 Grammar Core: The Senses Rule

How to describe things using your senses correctly.

In English, we use the Verbs of Senses (Look, Smell, Taste, Sound, Feel) to describe our impressions of something. There are two main rules:

Rule 1: With Adjectives

Subject + Sense Verb + Adjective

Use an adjective (not an adverb) to describe the subject.

You look tired today.
This soup tastes delicious.
That idea sounds great.

Rule 2: With Nouns

Subject + Sense Verb + LIKE + Noun

If you want to compare it to an object/thing (a noun), you MUST use the word "like".

You look like a ghost!
It smells like strawberries.

🚨 COMMON MISTAKE: Adjectives vs. Adverbs
Never use an adverb (words ending in -ly) after a verb of sense to describe the subject.
❌ These flowers smell nicely.
✔️ These flowers smell good.

🎧 Audio: The Food Critic

Listen to the conversation. Notice how they use the verbs of senses.

READY

Chef Gordon

Here is my special dish. It is a lavender-infused salmon.

Food Critic

Well, it looks beautiful on the plate. But honestly, it smells like perfume.

Chef Gordon

Please, try it. The texture of the fish feels very soft.

Food Critic

*Takes a bite*. Oh dear. This tastes terrible! It tastes like soap!

Chef Gordon

That sounds very harsh. I worked on this recipe for weeks!

📦 The Describer

Think of an object or food (e.g., A lemon, a dog, a guitar). Describe it using 3 sense verbs. Do NOT say its name!

"It looks yellow. It feels rough on the outside. It tastes very sour."

🤔 The Guesser

Listen carefully to the description. Guess the object using "Sounds like"!

"That sounds like a lemon!"
