Simile

A simile is a comparison between two different things using like or as. In this the Air Force is being compared to eagles using the word like.

An understatement is a statement about the quality or condition of something that is actually less than it actually is. For example, "That car could use a day with the mechanic." In actuality, the car is so destroyed it probably needs to be considered a total loss and go to the junkyard. Rhetoric is persuasive speaking or writing. A hyperbole is an over exaggeration.

Could someone explain to me the be going to, thanks​
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

'Be going to' has TWO meanings, both of which express future actions.

'Be going to' can be used to make predictions.

Ex.   According to the weather report, it <u>is going to</u> be cloudy tomorrow.

'Be going to' is also used to express a prior plan (i.e., a  plan made before the moment of speaking.)

Ex.   I <u>am going to</u> attend my brother's graduation on Saturday.
