Explain similie and a metaphor for a beginner​

A simile is comparing two things using like or as, for example:

Her eyes shone like diamonds

That simile is comparing the girl's eyes to diamonds using like

A metaphor is compaing two things, but without using like or as, for example:

He's a snail

This metaphor is comparing the boy to a snail, but not using like or as.

JUST BECAUSE A SENTENCE HAS LIKE OR AS IN IT DOES NOT MEAN IT'S A SIMILE- THE SENTENCE NEEDS TO BE COMPARING TWO THINGS USING LIKE OR AS.
