🔍 What Is Figurative Language?

Figurative language uses words in a non-literal way to create vivid imagery, express emotions, or emphasize ideas. Here’s a quick breakdown of the types listed:

1. Hyperbole – Exaggeration for effect.
*Example:* "I’ve told you a million times!" (Not literally a million.)

2. Simile – A comparison using "like" or "as".
*Example:* "She runs like the wind."

3. Metaphor – A direct comparison without "like" or "as".
*Example:* "Time is a thief."

4. Personification – Giving human qualities to non-human things.
*Example:* "The wind whispered through the trees."

5. Idiom – A phrase with a meaning different from its literal interpretation.
*Example:* "Break a leg!" (Means "Good luck," not literally break a leg.)

🧠 How to Use This Answer Key

If you're checking your work:
- Match your answers to the ones above.
- If you're unsure about a question, refer back to the definition of the figurative language type.

For example:
- If a sentence says, *"He was as brave as a lion,"* it's a simile (uses "as").
- If it says, *"He is a lion in battle,"* it's a metaphor (direct comparison).
- If it says, *"The sun smiled down on us,"* it's personification (giving a human action to the sun).
