Figurative Language Worksheets - Free Printable

It looks like you've uploaded an image of a worksheet titled "Figurative Language – idiom, simile, metaphor". The worksheet contains several multiple-choice questions designed to help students identify and understand different types of figurative language: idioms, similes, and metaphors.

Since I can't view images directly, I’ll need you to provide the text content of the worksheet or describe the questions and answer choices so I can help solve and explain them.

However, based on the visible text in your description, here’s what I can infer:

Worksheet Overview:

The goal is to identify whether a given phrase is an idom, simile, or metaphor.

#### Definitions provided (likely):
- Idiom: A common expression whose meaning is different from the literal meaning.
- Simile: A comparison using "like" or "as".
- Metaphor: A direct comparison without "like" or "as".

Example Questions (based on typical structure):

Let me assume the questions are similar to these common examples:

1. "By all the time left in your pants, I wouldn’t give you one single dime for that sandwich."
- This is likely a metaphor or idiom — but “time left in your pants” is not standard. It might be a metaphor for "time remaining" or a made-up expression. Likely intended as a metaphor.

2. "I was walking to the store when a shadow walked past me and my shadow was covered with ashes, her mouth opened and she said, 'Her name is death, and I am a person who has died.'”
- This is poetic and symbolic. Likely a metaphor — the shadow represents death.

3. "The broken crooked sword flew like a bird of lightning over the mountain."
- Uses "like" → this is a simile.

4. "Loomed up before us were the two huge pillars at the airport, perfectly aligned."
- No comparison; just descriptive. Not figurative. But if it's meant to be "the pillars loomed like giants", then it would be a simile.

5. "The stormy night had a length of thunder after thunder crashing into the rocks until the whole valley echoed."
- Descriptive, but no clear comparison. If it says something like “thunder roared like a lion,” then it’s a simile.

6. "I can't understand a word you're saying on the phone because the baby is making a noise like a blender."
- Uses "like" → simile.

7. "Martha made a soup and held the spoon out with a smile, saying, 'I'm going to get you.'"
- This seems ambiguous. If “get you” means “catch you” or “fool you,” it could be an idiom.

General Rules Recap:

| Type | How to Identify |
|------|------------------|
| Idiom | Meaning is not literal (e.g., "kick the bucket") |
| Simile | Uses "like" or "as" to compare (e.g., "as fast as lightning") |
| Metaphor | Direct comparison without "like" or "as" (e.g., "Time is a thief") |
