Question

What is the difference between similes and metaphors?

Answer 1

Answer:

similes they use like or as to compare something but metaphors compare things but don't use like or as

Answer 2

Answer: a good way to tell the difference between the two is a simile will always use the words “like” or “as”

Example: her cheeks were *like* roses

Example: her cheeks were roses

This is still saying that she was blushing and she was red on the cheeks but in stead of comparing to roses they are roses
