Explanation: Metaphor is a type of figurative language that compares one thing directly with another. For example: The ocean was an old friend. Simile compares two things using the word like or as. For example: The ocean was <u>as</u> welcoming <u>as</u> an old friend.

Hope this helps!

Hi there!

A metaphor is when you compare something to something else without using "like" or "as", by making the object of the metaphor take on the characteristic of that other thing. Example:

"That person over there is such a pig."

The metaphor in this sentence is comparing the subject "person" to a "pig" without the use of the comparison words "like" or "as".

I not understanding how to identify gerunds
Naya [18.7K]
First, you find the simple subject and simple predicate. 
If the '-ing' form of the verb is not part of the simple predicate, then determine how it is used in the sentence. If it's in a noun position, then it's a gerund. If it is used as an adjective, then it will be a participle.
