Is metaphor and simile the same?

English
1 answer:
KiRa [710]3 years ago
5 0

No, a metaphor is not the same as a simile (hence the different names). While both similes and metaphors are used to make comparisons, the difference between them is the word one uses when using them. Similes use the words like or as to compare things while metaphors directly state a comparison.
