Answer:

Explanation:

While both similes and metaphors are used to make comparisons, the difference between similes and metaphors comes down to a word. Similes use the words like or as to compare things—“Life is like a box of chocolates.” In contrast, metaphors directly state a comparison—“Love is a battlefield.”

How can you tell if it's a Simile?

Simile compares stuff things using "Like" or "As"

Example: Brave as a Lion.

This sentence uses "as" in the sentence. Therefore it's a Simile.

How can you tell if it's a Metaphor?

Metaphor is like Simile but the only different thing they have is Metaphor's DOES NOT uses "Like" or "As"

Example: The Snow is a white Blanket.

This sentence does not use "Like" or "As". Therefore it is a Metaphor.
