Sure! Verbal irony occurs when a speaker says one thing but means another, often in a sarcastic or humorous way. Here are two scenarios that could be examples of verbal irony:
1. **A person looking at a rain-soaked picnic and saying, "What a beautiful day for a picnic!"** - In this case, the speaker is clearly not being sincere about the weather being beautiful since it is raining.
2. **After studying very hard for an exam and getting a low score, a student says, "Great! All that studying really paid off!"** - Here, the student is expressing disappointment in a sarcastic way, as the statement contradicts the outcome of their hard work.
