A SIMILE is a phrase that describes something in comparison to the characteristics of something else, using the words as or like.Examples: Her hands were as cold as ice.

The inside of the car was a furnace. His memory of the event was foggy.Sometimes metaphors compare actions and adjectives by their effect.Examples : He was boiling mad. You are the sunshine of my life. The truth was hard to swallow.In many cases, a metaphor is an idiomatic expression when it suggests an improbable action, e.g It was raining cats and dogs. He was rolling in dough.
