Just take out the "as ___ as". For example: He was as quick as lightning. (don't ever use that it is a huge cliche) to change this simile to a metaphor, take out "as ____ as" which is the "as quick as" part. The metaphor will therefore be: He was lightning. Metaphors tell you the exact things the person is related to.

Nope, that's a similie. A similie is words using "Like" or "As" in a sentence. A metaphor is a comparasion to two words.
