Tropes are figurative language that we use on a regular basisand can sometime snot even realize we use them. An example is when asking for a tissue or napkin many people will say “Hand me a kleenex”. Kleenex is a specific product but the connotation that has been created in society is so that most people would understand the statement really just means “my nose is running get me a tissue before I use my sleeve”.
Metaphor: The lake was a mirror.
Metonym: To be successful you have to grind.
Synechdoche: Let’s play frisbee.
Irony: Saying “Good hands” if someone drops a ball.
