What is figurative language? Figurative language expresses an idea that goes beyond the actual meaning of the words Wind can’t whisper…but the expression gives you an idea of how the wind sounds

Two Main Types of Language: Literal and Figurative Literal language is explicit, obvious, out in the open and plainly stated. It is a major part of non- fiction texts, but can also be found in fiction. Figurative language infers or suggests things rather than stating them. It creates a picture in your mind, it is imagery. Figurative language can give a text more richness and depth. It is often found in fiction texts and autobiographies, but can also be found in non-fiction.
