Hyperbole

|
Hyperbole are a fun type of figurative language in which people exaggerate claims to emphasize a point. We do this each day in carrying on in conversation with others, and authors use it in writing for the same reason. The GrammarSong video “Hyperbole” provides many common examples of hyperbole, and the tune is very memorable. I warn you………..this one will be stuck in your head! |
