TASK 2:  Figurative and Literal Language

In class we have been learning about literal questions, these are questions in which the answers can ‘literally’ be taken from the text/video/audio clip etc.

Language can be literal (obvious, plainly stated, communicates exactly what is meant) and figurative (suggests and infers meaning, rather than simply stating it). Learning how to use figurative language will help with your own writing and make it more interesting to the reader.
