Hi - here’s the latest in the series on cooking.

Could you crack a few eggs?

Notes

  • Crack an egg. This means break an egg (into a bowl).
  • You know how you hit the egg against the side of the bowl and then drop the egg’s contents into the bowl?
  • The noise it makes sounds like crack!.
  • Words like this (which actually describe a sound) are examples of onomatopoeia. (Bang / zap / crunch are other examples. Think about comic books.)

OK, that’s all for now. See you tomorrow!
