What is a metaphor in English terms

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: a metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word'phrase is applied to an object/ action to which it is not literally suited.

examples:

the cats fur was a blanket of warmth.
'her eyes were fireflies.'

and a common metaphor:
brokenhearted.

the cat's fur isn't /actually/ a blanket, but it's body heat makes the cats fur warm and snuggly.

her eye's aren't /really/ fireflies, but they're very bright and shining (indicating happiness, perhaps?)

heat's don't /actually/ break into pieces, its just hurt and sadness (and a common metaphor.)

hope this helped!!
