KnowVibez is a friendly place to learn metaphors. We explain what each metaphor means, show you real examples and teach you when and how to use it in writing, school, work and everyday conversation.
English is full of hidden pictures. When someone says “my heart is broken” or “time is money,” they are using a metaphor. Our goal is to make these word pictures easy to understand for students, teachers, writers, English learners and curious readers.
What you will find here
- Simple definitions you can understand in seconds
- Dozens of examples in every guide, with sample sentences
- Tips on when to use a metaphor and when to avoid it
- Practice exercises, quizzes and real-life conversations
