Worksheets on Simile and Metaphor [with answers]

Simile and metaphor are figures of speech that contrast one thing with another to show that they have similarities. They are often used in poetry, but you can also find them in everyday language.

A simile uses words like “like” or “as.” This means we know exactly what the comparison is without any other help. For example: “The baby’s skin is as soft as silk.”

A metaphor doesn’t use those words. Instead, it just says something is something else entirely. For example: “That man is a lion.”
