As T.C. and E.J.M. pointed out, they are similes. If any one has seen them, you can make them and are not ashamed. What is a good translation of “He scowled like a dog.” Even an angry man bared his teeth as a dog with rabies. What

does a simile mean if it is an expanded adjective? Similes in English are a great way to spice up your grammar. They are also good at drawing comparisons. How do you say, “The cat is grey, like in an overcast day in London?” ” The word as can introduce a simile: “The day after exercising, he was as stiff as a rusty hinge. “It’s the more striking your simile the better the composition. ” ”

Similes and metaphors are cousins, but you use a simile with words such as “like” and “as”, whereas you use a metaphor without those words (words) (see example below) When Sznek arrived in Japan, he was a gorilla. He came in my life, he started to fight in boxing. ” Despite his massive size, Simile was as fierce as a bat in the boxing ring ” (Wikipedia), “He was as fierce as a gorilla in the boxing ring and I am not saying that he was so fierce I like to kill him personally by not doing anything,” (Wikipedia).

of analogy: “An analogy can function as extended metaphor or simile. When two things compare to each other, you can focus on what makes them different or what makes them similar. From your perspective, you can compare a court trial to a boxing match. What are the differences between two similar creatures? Two are competitions with a winner (one boxer wins and one loses; one lawyer wins and one loses). Why? Instead of using fists as weapons, as boxing ring fighters do, lawyers use words as weapons in trial. What are the key rules of competition for a boxing match? A boxer must keep hitting his opponent once he knocks his opponent down. This should be avoided. Is that a rule? Similarly, lawyers must not ask a witness a leading question, or bully a witness with words, or disrespect the judge. What are the rules?

If simile, metaphor, and analogy can add color to your descriptions, but as with any other figure of speech, they can become overused. Rather than sticking with the overused “He stuck out like a sore thumb” (meaning he was being too obvious, rather than blending in), use “She stuck out like a pregnant polevaulter!” Now there are pictures with similes.

What you mean when “like a bat out of hell” is overused? Why is it mentioned so often in jokes? As similes of “like a rabbit in heat” the phrase “like a dog in heat” is not as common as “like a rabbit in heat”. Strive to be original. Avoid being overly literal. Try inventing your own figures of speech. What are good sites for researching books of similes and metaphors?

Why don’t NGOs really pay attention to the nature of NGOs, or have a direct impact on people’s lives?
