figurative language is like saying “it’s raining cats and dogs!” when it’s raining hard. it’s just an exaggeration of words basically

Figurative language is when you use a word or phrase that does not have its normal everyday, literal meaning.
For example writing a hyperbole is a way to use figurative language.
