hi
similes are easy to understand; they're phrases that describe something by comparing in to something else using the word "like" or "as ...as"
the first sentences using simile:
1- He knew the answer as quick as a flash
2- He eats like a horse
3- I'm as blind as a bat without my glasses
A vous de continuer

Note that the E in "simile" is NOT silent and does not make the I long; "simile" rhymes with "Sicily".

yes, otherwise it's not a simile but a metaphor!

Hello,
yes, Similes compare two things using the words like or as.
but, can I say ?
white as snow
or is it just a French expression ?

hello bobine,

"as white as snow" exists in English as well as "as white as a ghost" or "as white as a sheet"
