Metaphor is a type of figures of speech. It's like a comparison to simile. Simile is easier to identify and it's often used "like" or "as". In metaphor, "like" or "as" isn't being used, so metaphors may sound a bit vague. In metaphor, you need to think really deeply and find out something that is not this thing and it's other thing. It can be confusing or it can sound nonsense. Metaphors are difficult to identify.

Are metaphors difficult to identify?
Metaphors can be quite difficult to identify. Metaphors mean a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. We need to think deeply about identifying metaphors. The sentence in a metaphor may be vague and nonsense and don't make logical sense. An example of metaphor is "If he stocks his prey, he's a shadow.". He's not actually a shadow. It looks like he's a shadow because he's trying to scare his prey away.
