There are too many to list them all here - there are links below to WikiPedia (they list each kind of figure of speech) and to an example page which gives specific examples!
If you click on each of the subtypes at the top it will list things like metaphors... "standing on the shoulders of giants" and things like that.
A figure of speech is a word or words used as literary devices to evoke literary sensibility in language (written or oratory) as embellishments by comparison with a concept sense with concrete or abstract images,sounds in mild or mega magnitude as aesthetics in literature.
A figure of speech is something you say, but you don't mean it literally. For example, a figure of speech could be "You're driving me up the wall!" to mean "You are annoying me." Or, "break a leg" which means "good luck."
The two most basic parts of speech are nouns and verbs. Nouns name people, places, things, and ideas. Verbs are action words that describe what the nouns are doing.
