C. Lesson Content

1. Introduction to Animal Sounds

Animals make different sounds. We can describe these sounds using simple sentences like:

• A dog barks.

• A cat meows.

• A cow moos.

These sentences help us learn about animals and how they communicate.

2. Common Animals and Their Sounds

3. Sentence Structure

We use the same structure to describe any animal sound:

🔹 A/An + animal + sound verb.

Examples:

• A lion roars.

• A duck quacks.

• A sheep baas.

Note: Use “An” if the animal name starts with a vowel sound.
e.g., An owl hoots.
