A metaphor
"depend" cannot be used in a simile. A simile is a comparison of two things using "like" or "as". "Depend" does not compare.
That's a simile. Remember, if you use "like" or "AS" you have A Simile
Yes if you use like or as to compare it is a simile

No it is not a simile because it does not use the term like or as in its description. Were you to say patience is like an hourglass it would be a simile. The way you worded it makes it a metaphor.
That is a simile becuase it uses as. Metaphors don't use "like" or "as".

simile is a comparison of 2 objects using like and as. example: You're as dumb as a bag of rocks
well, a little. it did use the word "as" but i don't think it is a simile. a simile uses the words "like" or "as" (example:asbig as a bus) or (the wind was like a ghost);this means it was very windy.
