write 3 of your own sentences that demonstrate personification.
1.
2.
3.

Explanation:

To solve this, we use personification (giving human traits to non - human things) with elements from List A (nature) and List B (human actions).

1. For the first sentence, we pick "Sun" from List A and "sings" from List B. The sun is a non - human nature element, and singing is a human action. So we form "The sun sings a warm lullaby."
2. For the second, we take "Moon" from List A and "dreams" from List B. The moon is non - human, and dreaming is human. Thus, "The moon dreams of silver nights."
3. For the third, we choose "Stars" from List A and "dances" from List B. Stars are non - human, and dancing is human. So, "The stars dance across the dark sky."

Answer:

1. The sun sings a warm lullaby.
2. The moon dreams of silver nights.
3. The stars dance across the dark sky.
