Punctuation sentences:

"You look tired," said Martin.

"Can I come in?"asked the man.

"Come here" said Grandma,"I want to see how much you have grown."

"Is that my bag?" asked Daniel, "I thought I'd lost it."

"Run!" shouted Sally, "The dog is after us!"

"I know what I want for my birthday," said Tina."A brand new car."

Whenever you describe something with something else you’re using figurative language.

 

Simile: a simile uses the words ‘like’ or ‘as’.Example: busy as a bumblebee.

 

Metaphor: a metaphor is more positive than a simile; it doesn’t use ‘like’ or ‘as’.Example: her eyes are icy-cold.

 

Personification, a figure of speech in which human characteristics are given to an animal or an object :example: my teddy gave me a hug.

 

Alliteration, The repetition of the same initial letter, sound, or group in a series of words. Alliteration includes tongue twisters :example: she sells sea shell by the sea shore.

 

Onomatopoeia, the use of a word to describe a natural sound or a sound made by an object or action :example: snap crackle pop

 

Idioms,An idion is an expression that has a meaning that is only known to a particular group of people :example: Monday week for “the Monday a week after next Monday”

 

Clichés, a cliché is an expression that has been used so often that is has become sometimes boring

Hyperbole, is an outrageous exaggeration that emphasizes a point, and can be ridiculous or funny : examples :You snore louder than a freight train.
