The English language is full of mystery. It can fascinate you and enthrall you.
Writers can describe things that make you imagine interesting images. Most of the
time, you can easily understand what the writer is trying to say, especially if he/she
expresses himself/herself literally. There are times though when writers use figurative
language making it harder to understand what they are trying to say.
In this lesson, you will learn more about figurative language and how to “read
between the lines.”.

Let’s learn
Figurative language or figures of
speech are devices such as metaphors,
similes, etc. that enliven language. They
are not taken literally and can create
clear and vivid pictures for readers. Figurative
language is when you use a word or phrase that does not
have its normal everyday, literal meaning.
Writers can use figurative language to make their work more interesting or more dramatic
than literal language which simply states facts.
- a simile is a figure of speech that compares two unlike things and uses the
words “like” or “as” and they are commonly used in everyday communication.
Examples:
She was as smart as an owl.
The student was as quiet as a mouse.
My backpack was like a bag of bricks.
5
-a personification is a type of figurative language that gives human
characteristics to non-living objects. Using personification affects, the
way readers imagine things, and it sparks an interest in the subject.
Examples:
The radio stared at me.
The car brakes screamed all through the journey.
The car stopped with a groaning complaint.
Examples:
The bees buzzed by flying back their hive.
Click the button to take the picture.
The truck engine roared as it climbed the hill.
Examples:
You can save money by spending it.
