Simile & Metaphor | English2021

Hello everyone, in English we are learning about Simile & Metaphor. We are supposed to put them answer them and also put them in order if they are simile or metaphor. Here are the questions and the answers that I answered. 

Copy these sentences onto your blog and highlight the simile in each:

  1. My bedroom was as black as a cave in the depths of the earth.

  2. The classroom after school became as noisy as a gaggle of gabby geese.

  3. The cat capered along the fence top like a tightrope walker on the hire wire. 

  4. My anger crashed into me like waves against the shore. 

Use a word from the box to complete each simile
The cloth was as black as coal.
The wet ball was as slippery as an eel.
My little sister is as playful as a kitten.
The top of this table is as smooth as silk.
I’ve been as busy as a bee.
The lamb is as white as snow.

For each of these sentences is it a simile or a metaphor?

  1. As slippery as an eel. - Simile

  2. Arnie was a man-mountain. - Metaphor

  3. He was a lion in battle. - Metaphor

  4. She is as pretty as a picture. - Simile

  6. The torch-lit up the room as if the sun had already risen early. - Simile

  7. The moon was a misty shadow. - Metaphor
