See below...


A simile is comparing two things using 'like' or 'as'; therefore an example could be:

'I am so bored, it is like I am watching paint dry'

A metaphor is stating that something IS something else, but this is not actually true most often. An example could be:

'Paint drying is the essence of boredom'

Hyperbole is the extreme exaggeration of something. For example:

'I was too bored to write a response'
