To solve this worksheet, we need to know the difference between a
simile and a
metaphor.
* A
simile compares two things using the words
"like" or
"as".
* *Example:* He is
as strong
as an ox.
* A
metaphor compares two things by saying one thing
is another (without using "like" or "as").
* *Example:* He
is an ox.
Let's look at each sentence:
1.
"The trees were like soldiers standing tall."
* This sentence uses the word
"like" to compare trees to soldiers.
* Therefore, it is a
Simile.
2.
"Her dad is a beast on the football field."
* This sentence says her dad
is a beast. It does not use "like" or "as." It directly states he is something else to show he is strong or aggressive.
* Therefore, it is a
Metaphor.
3.
"John’s sister is a cat, crawling everywhere."
* This sentence says the sister
is a cat. It does not use "like" or "as."
* Therefore, it is a
Metaphor.
4.
"His eyes are as blue as the ocean."
* This sentence uses the phrase
"as... as" to compare the color of his eyes to the ocean.
* Therefore, it is a
Simile.
5.
"The leaves were like bugs on the ground."
* This sentence uses the word
"like" to compare leaves to bugs.
* Therefore, it is a
Simile.
6.
"She was an animal on the basketball court."
