The five senses in English.
This is your brain.
Our brain uses the five senses to allow us to experience the world around us.
These five senses are
sight

taste
and touch.
Each sense is associated with a specific sensory organ.
The eyes give us the sense of sight.
The ears give us the sense of hearing.
The nose gives us the sense of smell.
The tongue gives us the sense of taste.
The skin gives us the sense of touch.
Let's look at each sense.
The sense of sight.
Sight allows us to see the size, form, color and location of things that are around us or in our environment.
This sense is normally the one that we use the most as it allows us to see.
The part of the body that gives us sight is the eyes.

The sense of smell
This sense allows us to distinguish the different aromas or smells that things have.
The part of the body that gives us smell is the nose.

The sense of hearing
This sense allows us to hear or listen to sounds that are around us.
You can listen to music and hear people talking
because of your sense of hearing.
The part of the body that gives us hearing is the ears.
My ears can hear sounds.
The verb is TO HEAR.

This sense allows us to feel how something is
and know its texture (smooth or rough)

and it's temperature (hot or cold).
The part of the body that gives us the sense of touch is the skin,
and it is the hand covered in skin that we use the most.
