I introduced the topic of onomatopoeia<\/a> yesterday with a number of “noisy verbs” found in English. Remember onomatopoeia is a word that imitates or suggests the source of the sound that it describes.\u00a0 Today I am going to focus on the verbs used to describe the sounds that animals make.\u00a0 Keep in mind these are all verbs and so they need to be conjugated to be used correctly.\u00a0 Tomorrow I will give you the onomatopoeia versions of the sounds that animals make, some of which can also be used as verbs, while others are just the written versions of animal sounds.<\/p>\n
