Now that you already know the

us now proceed on the common
types of figure of speech.
Please read the three common
types of figure of speech, Analie
Common types of Figure of
speech:
1. Simile
2. Metaphor
3. Personification
Thank you, Analie.
Simile - A figure of speech in which
a comparison is made between
unlike objects using the words
“like” or “as”

Her skin was as white as snow
Our soldiers are as brave as
lions
Did you understand class?
Yes, Ma’am
Okay, kindly give an example of
Simile, Andrea Possible answer:
Very good Andrea! Ma’am Maria is like an angel.
Metaphor - A figure of speech in
which a comparison is drawn
between two unlike ideas without
the use of like or as.
Example:
My brother was boiling mad
Her voice is music to his ears
Why do we have to indicate
the subject and scope of the
study in the title?
Is that clear class?
Yes, Ma’am.
Who can give an example for
metaphor? Yes, Arnel. Ma’am, Life is a Rollercoaster.
Good Job, Arnel.
How about the difference between
Simile and Metaphor?
Yes, Alim
Ma’am, a simile is a comparison
between two things that uses the
word like or as while metaphor is a
direct comparison between two
Precise answer. Good job, Alim! things that does not use like or as.
Both Simile and Metaphor is used
to compare two unlike things. They *Students will listen attentively to the
maybe difference in the usage. discussions
Simile uses like or as to compare
while metaphor does not.
Personification - A figure of
speech giving human traits or
characteristics to something that
isn’t human, such as animals,
objects or non-living things
Example:
The flowers danced in the
gentle breeze.
The coconut tree shook her
long hair
Lastly for personification, who can
give an example? Yes, Pam
Ma’am, the sun smiled down at me
Very Good Pamela!
Now let us wrap things up, the
simile and metaphor used to

quality to non-living things.
