  • Proverbs are the condensed, yet memorable sayings which are embodied with some important facts of experience which are acquired by the people as true sayings. In simple words, it is the collection of wise sayings which are offer people about the way to live life. Those sayings are known as Proverbs.
    It is really important to know something about the proverbs because they often come up during a conversation and sometimes people even use the entire proverb while giving an advice to their friends or colleagues. There are few people who even use just a part of a proverb, for instance:
    "You know what they say: when the going gets tough…"
    (The rest part of the proverb you can find in above video in our list of the 50 most important English proverbs.)
    Using and learning proverbs in English helps people in understanding the way English-speaking cultures think about the whole world. Proverbs even give good example sentences which people can easily memorize and use the same in building their own sentences.
