TICK-TOCK: meaning and examples

Hello everyone and happy Friday to you. Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin

Today we look at a very common onomatopoeia. An onomatopoeia is a word that sounds like the noise they refer to

Today we look at the onomatopoeia TICK-TOCK.

Meaning: An onomatopoeia that represents the sound that a clock makes. 

Example 1: He was having problems sleeping, and the tick-tock of his alarm clock was making it even harder to sleep

Example 2: After I changed the batteries in the clock, I put it close to my ear and could hear the tick-tock sound again, which assured me that it was working again.

Can you come up with your own original sentence using this onomatopoeia? You can post your sentence on one of our social media sites (Facebook or Twitter/X) and we will give you feedback about it ASAP.

I hope you have a great weekend. We'll see you back here on Monday with another lesson. 

All the best!
