Detailed explanation-1: -These are examples of onomatopoeia. What is onomatopoeia? It’s the creation of words that imitate the sounds they describe.
Detailed explanation-2: -A word whose sound mimics the noise or action it represents is called an onomatopoeic word. For example: ‘baa’, ‘woof’, ‘miaow/meow’, ‘clang’, ‘hiss’ and ‘thud’.
Detailed explanation-3: -Onomatopoeia – pronounced on-uh-mat-uh-pee-uh – is the quality of a word sounding like the thing it describes. For instance, the word boom refers to a loud, resonant sound, such as an explosion. But it also suggests this same sound when we say it, so boom is an onomatopoeic word.
Detailed explanation-4: -The dog barked all night. The mouse went squeak as it ran across the room. Suddenly, there was a loud thud at the door. The waves crashed against the side of the boat. The sausages are sizzling in the pan. The corn went pop in the microwave. More items
