| The HYPERBOLE |
Now, what is the hyperbole?
| Basically, the hyperbole is usually a GROUP OF WORDS which make an exaggeration which is not meant to be taken seriously. |
Like idioms HYPERBOLES are often thought of as "sayings".
For example, this sentence:
Another example of an hyperbole is this: "He snapped my head off", meaning: "He growled at me" or "He told me off".
"It rained cats and dogs all day," basically means that it rained a lot all day. It could not REALLY rain "cats and dogs". This is an exaggeration. It is an hyperbole .
