This Grade 4 worksheet helps students sort sentences into similes, metaphors, or neither using clear sentence patterns. Learners spot connector words like 'like' or 'as' and notice when a sentence directly renames one thing as another. The activity builds confidence with figurative language by combining short identification tasks with fill-in similes and brief written responses about everyday subjects. Grade 4 students sharpen quick recognition skills.
