    Underline the sentences in the text below are associated with a grammar that we discussed then translate

We usually say that people have five senses. Senses are the way that we learn what is happening around us. The five main senses are sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell.

Each sense depends on a specific organ of the body. This organ receives the information and then the nerves send this information to the brain. For example, eyes control sight; ears control hearing, and skin control touch. Taste depends on the taste buds on the tongue, and smell depends on the nose.

In addition, there are also other senses which are equally as important. There is a sense of balance which stops us from falling down. We also have senses of hunger, thirst, and heat and cold.
