Metaphor ans Simile

Metaphor and Simile

Simile or metaphor?

Your challenge today is to recognize the difference between a simile and a metaphor, can you do it?

A simile is where two things are directly compared, and “as” or “like” is usually used to compare.

For example:

As cold as a dog’s nose.

He was slow like a snail.

A metaphor also compares two things, but it does it more directly without using “as” or “like”.

For Example:

The shop was a little gold mine.
