OT: I need a English teacher

anyone know what a metaphor is and a simile is? My 4th grader brought home her workbook sheet for homework and we don't know what they are. She said they have not gone over these in class yet... Wonder if she should do them anyway. Kinda hard if we don't know what to do . DUH! Please help if you can, Thanks

connie, 1. Metaphor - A metaphor is when you say one thing IS something else. 2. Simile - A simile is when you say one thing is LIKE something else. I hope this helps! Angie bea
