Similes (Daily Lesson)

 

Similes are figures of speech that compare two different things using the words "like" or "as" to highlight a shared quality. They make descriptions more vivid and imaginative.

Examples of Similes:

1. "Brave as a lion."

2. "Light as a feather."

3. "Cool as a cucumber."

4. "Slept like a log."

5. "Fast as lightning."

6. "Sweet as honey."

7. "Busy as a bee."

8. "Clear as crystal."

9. "Fight like cats and dogs."

10. "Shine like a diamond."

Why Use Similes?

• They create strong imagery.

• They make writing more engaging.

• They help readers understand abstract ideas by comparing them to familiar things.
