What is Figurative Language?
Sometimes, writers use words in such a way that their meaning is different from their usual meaning. For example, someone who has told a secret might say, "I spilled the beans." This is an example of figurative language. These words do not mean that the person actually spilled some beans. These words mean "I didn’t mean to tell the secret."
View the Power Point Below for types of Figurative Language and examples for each.
