Learning Objective
I can identify examples of idioms, hyperboles, and similes in sentences.
- 1
Figurative language is when words have meaning other than what is literally in the text.

A simile compares unlike things using like or as, while a metaphor compares unlike things without using like or as.
- 3
Personification is when non-human objects are described to have human characteristics, and hyperbole is an exaggerated figurative statement.
