The Brook Gurgled, but the Wind Howled!

Follow me on:

Gurgle and howl are examples of onomatopoeia of words that imitate the sounds they express. Learn these verbs and listen to your teacher hum with delight! Many of these verbs refer to sounds human's make. Take this human sounds gap fill quiz to check your understanding of the verbs used to express the sounds we make.

Thanks very much. I am from the little islands in Micronesia – Pacific. English is not our language – but we must learn it in school. I have been taking english classes since in elementary school and today I am a college student and still studying english. Your site has been a great help for me in school and when I am teaching my students. I am also a teacher in the elementary school grade 3 to 4. I have improvement very much in my english in all aspects, reading, writing, listening and speaking. Again, thank you very much. here in our island we say “kamagar” which means “thank you.”
