Figurative language by Callum

Introduction

Introduction

Figures of speech describe things, like adjectives, but a figure of speech doesn’t literally describe the noun. They give the reader "a better image" of what the author wants them to see. It also makes reading texts more enjoyable. In this web quest, you will learn about different types of figurative language.
