A review of the Metaphor is a language phenomenon that we will encounter all the time in our daily life, and it is no exception in teaching. It can be said that human language as a whole is a metaphorical symbol system, which has been highly valued in academic circles in recent years. This paper is based on grammatical metaphor in a broad sense and takes the application of metaphor in English teaching as a framework. This paper discusses the main components of grammatical metaphor, analyzes its emergence and development, and finally reveals its practical significance to English teaching.
