A metaphor compares two things. You could say "The juice was honey on her tongue." Or you could say "Juice is wine to me."

A metaphor is a literary device that is used to describe something through comparison without using the words "like" or "as". A metaphor of grass could be anything as long as it is comparing grass to something.
A simile is when something is described by comparing it to something else by using the words "as", "like" or "than". For example "float like a feather" or "green as grass". The difference between a simile and a metaphor is that the metaphor says that something is. Simile - Her hair is like gold in the sun. Metaphor - Her hair is gold in the sun.
A metaphor is a way to compare things using the word "is". Simile's are not metaphors because similie's say something is LIKE another thing while metaphors are saying something IS something when it is not.
Yes, that is exactly what it is, but you can also say that is is comparing something not using like or as
Raining exclamation marks is a metaphor because it is describing something (rain) by comparing it to something else (exclamation marks) without using "like" or "as."

No, the saying "an aching heart" is not a simile. It is a metaphor because it directly compares the heart to something that aches, without using "like" or "as" as a comparison.
a metaphor doesn't use any specific words, But a metaphor can not use the words "like" or "as". If "like" or "as" is used, it's a simile. A Metaphor is "something used to represent something else" or "A comparison between two things, without using like or as". For example: "life is a journey" - This is a metaphor because it is comparing Life to a Journey, and does NOT use like or as.

when you're describing something as being something else entirely, you are using metaphorical lexis (or just plain metaphor) hope that helps m8!
