What's the meaning of Figures of speech ​

Asked by schantalbrielle04

Answer (1)

Answer:Figures of speech are ways of saying things that aren't entirely true, but make the writing or speech more interesting and impactful. Think of metaphors, where you compare two unlike things directly, like "the world is a stage." Or similes, which use "like" or "as" to make a comparison, such as "he fought like a lion." Then there's personification, giving human qualities to non-human things – a "smiling sun," for example. We use exaggeration (hyperbole), phrases with hidden meanings (idioms), and words that sound like what they describe (onomatopoeia). All these little tricks – and many more – add color and life to language, making it more engaging and memorable.
