When you write, you can use sensory details. These sense words help your reader understand what something looks, sounds, tastes, smells, or feels like.

Sensory Category	Description
Sight	These are words like bright, clean, and purple. A reader can imagine looking at these details.
Sound	These are words like hissing, buzzing, and ringing. A reader can imagine hearing these details.
Taste	These are words like juicy, sweet, and burnt. A reader can imagine tasting these details.
Smell	These are words like fruity, sweet, and stinky. A reader can imagine smelling these details.
Touch	These are words like fuzzy, wet, and soft. A reader can imagine feeling these details.

Many sense words can describe more than one sense. For example, soft can describe a touch or a sound. And sweet can describe a taste or a smell.
