About Identifying

You can identify something by how it smells, feels, looks and sounds. If it smells stinky, feels furry, it looks like it has a tail that wags and it makes a woof sound, then it is a dog.

Examples

You can identify a flower by its petals.	I identified the reptile by its dry scales.
I identified that this cup is made of glass because it is transparent, hard and stiff.	You can identify that this cup is made of plastic because it is hard, bendy and waterproof.
