Oh, dude, you're really testing my non-example skills here. Okay, so like, imagine someone saying "I love Mondays" when they actually hate them - that's not verbal irony. Or when someone says "I can't wait for this 10-hour meeting" and they genuinely mean it - also not verbal irony. Basically, if someone says something and they're totally serious about it, that's a non-example of verbal irony.

How can you best explain that these three types of irony verbal irony situational irony and dramatic irony are the same?

All of irony is generally just sarcasm or cynicism, whether it is verbal irony, situational irony, or dramatic irony. Irony says the opposite of what you mean. For example, let's say you spent 4 hours fixing your sister's computer. She says "Thanks" in a deadpan voice as she takes her computer. You reply, "Hey, don't hurt yourself with all that pent up gratitude you're holding inside and carrying around!"Irony like sarcasm can be said nicely without much tone and still have the same meaning and effect.Said calmly without raising your voice: "Hey, don't hurt yourself with all that pent up gratitude you're holding inside and carrying around!"Said emphatically: "Hey, don't hurt yourself with all that pent up gratitude you're holding inside and carrying around!"They both carry the same message. Often, saying irony calmly without raising your voice has a deeper effect.
