Question

In one to two sentences, write an example of verbal irony. (2 points)

Answer 1

Example:

When there's a thunderstorm outside someone may say "Wow how beautiful is the weather outside"

Definition and Other Examples:

Almost like Sarcasm

Verbal Irony- When a person says something but they mean something else.

• Like I said before it's like Sarcasm... Someone gives a joke that is not funny and another person may respond by saying "Oh wow that's so funny" ... When in reality it was not funny to that person.

Try Some of These Other Examples:

• Someone breaks their leg and says "This Is just great"

• Someone gives a funny joke another person is laughing hard and says "I'm dead"

• Someone trips and falls and says "That was fun"
• Someone's WIFI connection fails and they say "My life is over"
• When someone sees another person upset they say "I guess your day is going great"

• A person going to math class who hates math says "Oh great my favorite subject"

Hope that Helps!!!!!
