Welcome to my grammar tutorial on similes and metaphors!
In this video, you will learn what a simile is and what a metaphor is.
Let’s explore the difference between simile and metaphor together.
What is a Simile?
A simile is a way to compare two things.
We use the words “like” or “as.”
For example, “She is as busy as a bee.”
Here, we're comparing a person to a bee because both are busy.
This is the meaning of simile.
What is a Metaphor?
A metaphor also compares two things but does it differently.
It says one thing is another.
For example, “The classroom was a zoo.”
The classroom isn’t really a zoo, but it means the classroom was noisy and wild. This is the meaning of metaphor.
Difference Between Simile and Metaphor
A simile uses the words “like” or “as.”
A metaphor doesn’t. It says something is something else.
Simile: “She swims like a fish.”
Metaphor: “The road was a ribbon of moonlight.”
