Hello, friends!
My name is Snehal. I welcome you on my podcast channel where you can learn a lot about English grammar and vocabulary. Today we are going to talk about one of my favorite topics of English grammar and vocabulary and it is simile. If you want to take your writing style next level or impress somebody with your English then you should use these similes. Therefore, without wasting much time, let’s deep dive into it.
What is a simile? It is a figure of speech that makes a comparison, showing similarities between two different things. Some examples of similes are: as brave as a lion, as sick as a parrot, as sharp as a razor, as tough as leather and as strong as an ox.
- As brave as a lion – very brave
Example: Our soldiers are as brave as a lion. They can fight against any tough situation. - As sick as a parrot – very disappointed.
Example: After losing the final match, the team is as sick as a parrot. - As sharp as a razor – very sharp
Example: Be careful when you cut vegetables with this new knife. It is as sharp as a razor. - As tough as leather – have a strong character and do not get upset
Example: Our medical officers are as tough as leather. They won’t back down against COVID-19. - As strong as an ox – possessing great physical strength
Example: If you follow instruction of the coach of the gym, you will be as strong as an ox.
