Any comparison that uses like or as is a simile. Otherwise it is a metaphor.
Like a giant bird flapping its wings, the airplane flew over the field. Simile.
The airplane accelerated down the runway and with a mighty leap the giant bird flew into the sky. Metaphor
No. If a comparison uses like or as, it becomes a simile.
A simile is a comparison of two ideas or objects, usually using like or as. Her nose is LIKE a waterfall, always running. Her teeth are LIKE stars, they come out at night. A metaphor is a comparison when one thing is said to BE the other, and is not just a comparison. Her nose IS a waterfall, always running. Her teeth ARE stars, they come out at night.
simile
Yes. An example is, "The apple is like the starry night sky." A simile has to have the word 'like' in it.
.using like or as
A simile is a comparison of two objects using the words "like" or "as." For example: That soup was as salty as the ocean! Similes are like metaphors except that metaphors do not use like or as.
That is a simile becuase it uses as. Metaphors don't use "like" or "as".
No. If a comparison uses like or as, it becomes a simile.
A metaphor
Yes, it is a simile. Keep in mind that a simile is a metaphor, but not all metaphors are similes. A simile is a metaphor that uses the words like or as for the comparison.
Not sure, but the metaphors could be a simileex. "The woman was large, (like or as) a cow."If the metaphorical statement contains "like" or "as", it's a simile.
Metaphors are different because they do not include comparisons using "like" or "as".
It is a simile because it uses the word "like." Metaphors do not use this word.
Similes contain the comparison word "like" or "as", metaphors do not.
