Narrative Lesson #5: Exaggeration

Today we are going to be looking at a special type of Exaggeration Called Hyperbole.

A Hyperbole: is an extreme exaggeration. 

Example: It was so cold I saw polar bears wearing jackets.  I have told you a million times! He is as skinny as a tooth pick!

Grammar: 

Today in grammar we are looking at perfect verb tenses. A perfect verb describes an action that happened or will happen at an indefinite time. This tense is formed by using the words have or has, had or will have with a verb. 

Examples:

Present Perfect Tense: We have lived here for years. 
Past Perfect Tense: We had lived there for years. Future 
Perfect Tense: In June, we will have lived here for 10 years.

Using Hyperbole tell what happened in one of these pictures:
