Foreshadowing is when the author hints at something that will come later in the book. For instance if the author hints that there will be an accident at the beginning of the book, but you have no idea what kind, or who gets hurt, or what... then you read the book differently with different things in mind than if the author hadn't hinted at it.
Foreshadowing can be very subtle too... just saying that it started to rain, or that it was darker outside than usual can be hints that something bad will happen.

No, foreshadowing is not a figure of speech. It is a literary device used by authors to hint at future plot developments or outcomes in a story. It creates suspense and can enhance the reader's understanding of the narrative.
