Simile or metaphor?
  • Your challenge today is to recognise the
    difference between a simile and a metaphor, can
    you do it?

2
A simile is where two things are directly
compared, and as or like is usually used to
compare.
For example As cold as a dogs 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.
