Have you ever read a story that painted pictures in your mind? That’s the magic of figurative language. Writers use it to make their words more powerful, colourful and full of meaning. Figurative language doesn’t always mean exactly what it says. Instead, it uses creative comparisons and expressions to showcase ideas in a deeper way. According to Grammarly, “A figure of speech is a tool that conveys meaning in a non-literal way by using creative language.”
