What type of figurative language chasing

"Chasing" itself isn't figurative language. It's a literal verb.

To understand what figurative language might be involved, we need more context.

For example, consider these phrases:

* "Chasing the sunset": This is a metaphor, comparing the act of pursuing the setting sun to the pursuit of something fleeting or unattainable.

* "Chasing after dreams": This is a metaphor comparing the pursuit of aspirations to a physical chase.

* "He chased the ball like a dog with a bone": This is a simile, comparing the person's enthusiasm for the ball to a dog's eagerness for a bone.

Tell me more about how "chasing" is used, and I can help you identify the figurative language.
