 ### Description
 
-Many statements can be understood as completely true, as generalizations, or as examples of hyperbole. This is because the wording is often exactly the same.
+A speaker or writer can use exactly the same words to say something he means as completely true, as generally true, or as a hyperbole. This is why it can be hard to decide how to understand a statement.
 
   * It rains here every night. 
 
-1. This is completely true if it really does rain here every night.
-2. It is a generalization if it is mostly true because it rains here most nights. 
-3. It is a hyperbole if it is not nearly true, but the speaker said it because it rains here more often than he likes.
+1. The speaker means this as literally true if he means that it really does rain here every night.
+2. The speaker means this as a generalization if he means that it rains here most nights.
+3. The speaker means this as a hyperbole if he wants to say it rains more than it actually does, usually in order to express a strong attitude toward the amount of rain, such as being annoyed or being happy.
 
 **Hyperbole**: This is a figure of speech that uses **exaggeration**. A speaker deliberately describes something by an extreme or even unreal statement, usually to show his strong feeling or opinion about it. He expects people to understand that he is exaggerating.
