When crafting any piece of imaginative writing it is a good idea to use some sensory language as this helps to bring the text to life for your reader and allow them to experience it in 3D. However, simply writing directly and very obviously about details that appeal to the senses is not only ineffective but it is also clumsy and unsophisticated.
The impact of a very clumsy, obvious and basic sensory description such as this:
'When I walked into the room I could smell the delicious aromas of the meal and see the lovely colours of the table setting'
Can be improved enormously if we use more indirect sensory description such as:

'Delicious savory aromas welcomed me into the room as I arrived whilst the kaleidoscope place settings called invitingly, drawing me ever closer to the enormous spread.'

This version appeals to exactly the same two senses, smell and sight, but has a much greater impact on the reader because the imagery is much more vivid. This is because the senses are appealed to without using the obvious phrases ' I could smell . . .' or 'I could see . . ' and through the figurative devices of personification and metaphor.

Look at each sentence below which appeals to one or more of the senses indirectly and match them to the correct sense.

Many of the errors we see in candidates writing in exams come from the fact that we live in an age when the distinctions between everyday, spoken colloquial English and formal, Standard English usage have become increasingly blurred.

One very common error is the use of 'of' after the modal verbs 'would, could & should' instead of the 'have'
