Figures of speech

 Topic 7

Let's look at figures of speech 

Certainly! Figures of speech are literary devices used to create effects, convey meanings, and enhance writing. Here are some common figures of speech:

1. Simile

  • Definition: A comparison between two unlike things using "like" or "as."
  • Example: "Her smile was as bright as the sun."

2. Metaphor

  • Definition: A direct comparison between two unlike things without using "like" or "as."
  • Example: "Time is a thief."

3. Personification

  • Definition: Giving human characteristics to non-human entities or objects.
  • Example: "The wind whispered through the trees."

4. Hyperbole

  • Definition: An exaggerated statement not meant to be taken literally, used for emphasis.
  • Example: "I've told you a million times.""

These figures of speech help to make language more vivid, expressive, and effective in both written and spoken forms.
