Hello. You did not enter the necessary phrases to answer your question. So I put up example sentences and showed when parentheses or colon should be used.

Answer:

  • I knew that the butterfly would be attracted as soon as it smelled the perfume it gave off from the flowers of the tree (cherry).
  • When we went to the market (me, my brother and my cousin) we didn't find the cookies anymore.
  • Mary said, "When I grow up I want to be just like you."
  • The boys' names were: Pedro, Jose, Fernando and Carlos.

Explanation:

The parentheses "()" can be used in a sentence when it is necessary to add information about some words. This information is placed in parentheses to indicate that they should not have any influence on the text, and can even be removed from the text. It is important that the parentheses are placed immediately after the term that will receive additional information as in the sentences:

  • I knew that the butterfly would be attracted as soon as it smelled the perfume it gave off from the flowers of the tree (cherry).
  • When we went to the market (me, my brother and my cousin) we didn't find the cookies anymore.

The colon ":" should be used in a sentence when a quote, list, numbering, clarification or abstract is added to the text. Examples of this are:

  • I knew that the butterfly would be attracted as soon as it smelled the perfume it gave off from the flowers of the tree (cherry).
  • When we went to the market (me, my brother and my cousin) we didn't find the cookies anymore.
  • Mary said, "When I grow up I want to be just like you."
  • The boys' names were: Pedro, Jose, Fernando and Carlos.

A metaphor compares two things directly. A simile compares two things using either like or as
stiks02 [169]

A metaphor is usually defined as a figure of speech in which a term or phrase is applied to something to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance, as in "A mighty fortress is our God."

A simile is usually defined as a figure of speech in which two unlike things are explicitly compared, as in "she is like a rose."

<h2>What is figurative language?</h2>

Language that contains or uses figures of speech, especially metaphors.

Note: When speech or writing is not literal, it is figurative, like when you say you a ton of homework.
