A simile is defined as a comparison usually using like or as. When does it not use like or as?

if it does NOT use like or as, it's then called a metaphor...like 'dead tired', or 'sly fox'.

like is not the same as love.. like is conditional.. such as he likes you because u are this and that.. but to love is different, it is unconditional. he will love you despite of who you are. \n\namerican context... definitely not the same. to say "i love you" for americans is scary. u don't just say it unless you really mean it. they only say i love you if they are ready to commit..\n\nbut the bottom line is this.. if he doesn't say it maybe he's not good at saying it... if he shows it best? WHY NOT?

unambiguous is the most precise answer. words like exact and precise are not as good because they are, well, ambiguous.

A simile, also called an open comparison, is a form of metaphor that compares two different things to create a new meaning. But a simile always uses "like" or "as" within the phrase.\n\nAn onomatopoeia is a word that tries to sound the same as a real sound we might hear. Words similar to woof, click, buzz, and shh are onomatopoeias.\n\nRepetition ... is the occurrence of an event which has occurred before.\n\nI've given you the meanings, now you can find the appropriate answers for your school assignment.\n\nGood luck.

idioms are things that you know to mean but dont really make since literally.\nexample: \nas easy as pie: very easy.\n\n"I thought you said this was a difficult problem. It isn't. In fact, it's as easy as pie."

1. His pencil is superior to mine (use ".to" rather than "than"}  2. Neither of them was praised. (neither means one so you have to use singular - was.  3. She is more clever than anyone in her class.( no such word as cleverer)  4. The rich should not hate the poor.    5.This cloth is superior to that ( use "to" rather than "than".)   On number 4, you might have accidently typed that capital S - but it shouldn't be there.

The evolution of "like" from a simple preposition into an emphatic particle in Modern English is just part of the natural evolution of language.  Every language changes with each new generation of speakers.  Old structures fall by the wayside and new structures take their place.  It's been going on for 100,000 years at least.  It's just part of the process.  "Like" has evolved into three distinct things:  First, the verb "like" as in "I like steak".  Second, the preposition as in "The second day was like the first day".  And the newest manifestation, the emphatic particle as in "I thought, like, he is so cute".  Where the evolution goes from here is anyone's guess.  Emphatic particles often evolve into either nominative or accusative case endings, but the position of "like" will have to become fixed first.

Definitions:\n\nSimile - a figure of speech that expresses a resemblance between things of different kinds (usually formed with `like' or `as').\n\nMetaphor - a figure of speech in which an expression is used to refer to something that it does not literally denote in order to suggest a similarity.\n\nAlliteration - The repetition of the same sound, usually of a consonant, at the beginning of two or more words immediately succeeding each other or at short intervals. Example: The repetition of f and g in fields ever fresh, groves ever green\n\nConsonance – \na.Close correspondence of sounds. \nb.The repetition of consonants or of a consonant pattern, especially at the ends of words, as in blank and think or strong and string.\n\nGiven the definitions, I'm pretty sure it is a simile.

Yes that is correct. The double " is used  to enclose a quote. A single ' is used to enclose a quote within the quote.

It depends on the idiom. There are lots of different origins. Just pick an idiom at look up its origin at:\n\nhttp://www.idiomsite.com/

The best examples are probably in the "too too solid flesh" soliloquy.  There the distinction between earthly things and heavenly things, and the distinction between King Hamlet and Claudius.  Also, when Prince Hamlet is addressing Yorick's skull, he draws comparisons between living and dying

It is not a proper word, however it has evolved into a word used commonly.  The word you probably want to use is "arguably" which is the adjectival form of the word "arguable." "arguable" means something that is open to argument.  For instance "'Argumentably' is arguably a word."

It depends on context.\nGeneral or prevalent usage does not necesarily legitimise bad English. \n\nIncidentally your answer to another question where you have suggested that 'like' is a substitute for different forms of the verb 'say' is totally erroneous. The 'sentence' the questioner has asked about is so magnificently ill-structured that it takes time to comprehend and with no context in which to place it (no textual commentary and it is not part of a larger scripted dialogue or transcript of a conversation) we must take it at its 'effective' face-value.\n\n"Like" is here the equivalent of the equally vague "sort of" or "kind of" and is meaningful only in the generally and necessarily vague (or arguably 'free') state of the informal language coding of the rest of the 'sentence'.\n\nBut this then brings us to clasification and despite all arguments to the contrary we are stuck with the 'like' in question (no pun intended) falling into the category of the adjectival.\n\nI suppose, at the end of the day, it may depend on quite what one means by semantics...  but that day has not yet begun and the end is faraway...\n\nThanks for inspiring me to spout.\n\n:)
