Worksheet 2
Metaphors
A. Identify and explain the metaphors used in the following sentences.
1. Uma came to the station with an army of children.​

Answer 1

Answer:

A metaphor is a figure of speech that says that one thing is another different thing. This allows us to use fewer words and forces the reader or listener to find the similarities.

The word metaphor comes from the Greek word metapherin (meaning "transfer").

The simplest form of metaphor is: "The [first thing] is a [second thing]."

Look at this example:

Her home was a prison.
