A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two different things by saying one thing is another. Look for phrases or expressions that do not have a literal meaning and instead describe one thing as if it were something else. Metaphors often use words like "is" or "are" to make the comparison.

Is metaphor difficult to identify?

Metaphor is a type of figures of speech. It's like a comparison to simile. Simile is easier to identify and it's often used "like" or "as". In metaphor, "like" or "as" isn't being used, so metaphors may sound a bit vague. In metaphor, you need to think really deeply and find out something that is not this thing and it's other thing. It can be confusing or it can sound nonsense. Metaphors are difficult to identify.
