What is a sentence in literal?

The term "literal" is often used in contrast to figurative language. It means using words in their most basic and direct sense, without any metaphorical or symbolic meaning.

Here's an example:

Figurative: "My heart was racing like a runaway train."

Literal: "My heart was beating very fast."

A literal sentence would be one that expresses a simple and direct meaning, without any embellishment or figurative language. For instance:

* The cat sat on the mat.

* The sun is shining.

* I ate a sandwich for lunch.
