Categories of Figurative Language

There are seven categories of figurative language. They are:

Imagery
Imagery is a type of figurative language that appeals to the senses. The descriptions can be about living things or inanimate objects.
A good example is from Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"

Simile
A simile compares two things using the words “like” and “as.” Examples include:

 - busy as a bee

       - clean as a whistle

    - brave as a lion

Metaphor

When you use a metaphor, you make a statement that doesn’t make sense literally, like “time is a thief.” It only makes sense when the similarities between the two things become apparent or someone understands the connection.
Examples include:

       -The world is my oyster

        -You are a couch potato
