How would u check a statement to determine that it is a simile

To make sure that a statement is a simile, you must make sure it uses the words "like" or "as".

Examples:

she is like a small bird

he is as creepy as a spider

Similes use like or as in them . So, if u want to check that a statement has a simile look for like or as in the sentence . For example:

"The clouds are blue" is not a simile bc it doesnt have like or as .

"The clouds are as blue as the carribean sea's waters"

is a simile because it contains like or as .
