At the lecture, we discussed what an irony, pun, zeugma, malapropism and anti-proverb. What means they give. We practiced to distinguish them in the sentences. The irony is when the writer says one thing but actually means the opposite regret. F, e: It is a good idea that I've never heard in my life.

Malapropism is when a substitution of one word for another based on a blunder. F, e:She is as headstrong as an allegory. We know that what is an anti-proverb. F,e: Where there's a will, there's a lawsuit.

We discussed about metaphor, metonymy, simile and personification. Also we learned how to distinguish them in the text.

Metonymy is one object by another they should be common existence in reality. F. e: “That was old fish-face’s room.” Alfred said. Simile is the comparison of two unlike objects.

For example: “He stood for an instant on the threshold and their eyes met”.
