During English, we have been learning about different types of figurative languages and their definitions.
What we discussed were similes, metaphors, alliterations, personifications, Hyperbole, and onomatopoeia. Similars are comparing two words or more using like or as, such as the forest was green as a leaf, metaphors are similar to similes but instead of using like or as, makes the word become what it is simlar to but is not, such as the gorilla was a sturdy tank, alliterations are when a certain sound repeat, such as the traveller travelled on the train, personifications are when live aspect is given to a object or thing, such as the plant rised up slowly, hyperboles are saying something more exageratting than it actually is, such as I screamed louder than a lion, and lastly onomatopoeia, which is using words which sound exactly what you are describing, such as the racket wisttled through the wind as it was swinged.
The ones that are most useful and something you may be using most of the time in your writing is simile as most of the time, you will be decribing lots of things as simile will help you make what you are describing more realistic and believable, another one is Hyperbole, it doesn’t really tell you exactly the accurate thing but this can also help people tell what you are talking about as you can use these in your writing, especially if you’re decribing something.
