1. Different types of
figurative language.
2. Identify figurative
language used in a literary
Figurative language refers to language
that uses words in ways that deviate
from their literal interpretation to
achieve a more complex or powerful
effect. This view of figurative
language focuses on the use of figures
of speech that play with the meaning
of words.
 Common Types of Figurative
Language
There are many types of
figures of speech that can be
involved in figurative
language. Some of the most
Metaphor: A figure of speech
that makes a comparison
between two unrelated things
by stating that one thing is
another thing, even though
this isn't literally true.
Example:
“Her lips are a blooming
gumamela”
“Our front liners are brave
lions”
“Laughter is the best
Simile: A simile, like a
metaphor, makes a
comparison between two
unrelated things. However,
instead of stating that one
thing is another thing
(as in metaphor), a simile
Example:
“Lito and Maria fought like cats
and dogs”
“Morissette voice is like music
to my ears”
“Covid 19 virus is like an
invincible killer”
Hyperbole: Hyperbole is an
intentional exaggeration of the
truth, used
to emphasize the importance
of something or to create a
comic effect.
Example:
“We waited for centuries for the
vaccine to be released”
“Ms. Almoete has been teaching
here since the Stone Age”
“It would only take me two
seconds to answer this module.”
Personification:
In personification, non-
human things are
described
as having human
Example:
“Joanne heard the last piece
of egg pie calling her name”
“The waling waling flowers
nodded in the wind”
“Pasig City never sleeps”
Alliteration: In alliteration, the
same sound repeats in a
group
of words. Alliteration uses
repetition to create a musical
effect that helps
Example:
“Snow bear candy was killing my
cavity”
“After Catriona broke up Clint,
his heart hung heavily”
“My mother makes a mouth-
watering egg pie”
Read the lines of poetry.

beams.
5. The moon was a ghostly

The road was a ribbon of
moonlight over the purple
moor,
