Hyperbole


Hyperbole is a figure of speech, which makes use of exaggeration to emphasize something or make a strong impression.

My school bag weighs a ton.
It took him ages to cross the crowded street.
I have told you a million times not to be so careless.
She has hundreds of dresses, but, still wants more.
I was so tired that I could sleep for a year.
