Answer:

A language that connects to the 5 senses (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch). It uses details from the five senses to add color and depth to writing. It helps readers visualize the scene a writer is setting.

Sensory language is writing that uses words pertaining to the five senses of sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch. It is used to make vivid descriptions in a scene and creates an emotional connection with the reader.
