English

Answer:

Personification.

Explanation:

Personification is a figure of speech that allows authors to give human qualities or characteristics to objects, animals, or even ideas. By doing so, they make their writing more descriptive, poetic, and imaginative.  It is quite common to see personification in poetry. Also, fables rely greatly on personification since they are stories in which animals talk and display human behavior.

An example of personification would be describing "the wind sang outside my window as the night grew colder." The wind cannot literally sing but, by saying so, the writer makes it seem as if the wind has a mind of its own, as if it can act in a human way and convey feelings.

What are gerunds, infinitives, and participials ?
ale4655 [162]
A Gerund/ Gerund Phrase is a verb form that acts like a noun and ALWAYS ends in -ing.   Hint:  Replace the gerund with "this thing," or, "that thing" to test your answer.

A participle / participle phrase is a verb that functions in a sentence as an adjective. It described nouns and pronouns.  
Present -> ends in -ing
Past ->    ends in - ed
Irregular -> various endings

Infinitive / infinitive phrases is a verb form preceded by the word "to" 

Don't confuse with the preposition "to"   
  
                              Infinitive = to + verb 
                             Preposition = to + noun or pronoun
sometimes the "to" is dropped. 

I hope this helped. Of course, this is the 11th-grade versions of English. Also, if you have any other questions let me know :)
