This second easy worksheet gives third graders more practice spotting and naming figurative language in fresh examples. Fix the Sentence presents three new mislabeled sentences, including the classic 'The classroom was a zoo' metaphor. Fill in the Blank offers four sentences focused on completing similes and explaining what metaphors do. The True or False section tests whether students understand that 'Time is money' is a metaphor, not a simile, and why figurative language makes writing vivid.
