Learn about hyperbole and figures of speech in this English literary devices lesson. Hyperbole is a figure of speech that involves exaggerated statements or claims that are not meant to be taken literally. We use hyperbole in everyday conversation and in literature to create emphasis, add humour, or convey strong emotions.

Examples:
• I told you the answer a million times!
• I'm drowning in paperwork right now.
• We've been walking for centuries!

At the end of this lesson, there will be a short quiz to identify if the language used is hyperbole or literal language.
