A saying is an ‘expression/sentence’ that people often use to give advice or information about facts of life or experience. English, like most languages, is full of them. Some were used by English-speaking people like William Shakespeare, while others entered the English language such a long time ago that it is hard to know their exact origin. In fact, sayings have become so integrated in everyday communication, that any native speaker could easily use quite a few of them during a chat in front of a cup of tea to illustrate his or her take on any particular subject of conversation.
Synonyms for the word ‘sayings’ are: proverb, maxim and adage.
With St Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I could not keep myself from posting some sayings related to love, which I’ve sliced into two parts (pink cards and blue cards). Read the cards and match them to get the complete saying. After doing this, you can check your answers below. Once you have the whole proverb, try to guess its meaning. If you want to know if you were right, just go to the flipping card section at the bottom of this post.
Love never fails – The heart has its reasons that reason knows nothing of – When poverty comes in through the front door, love goes out through the window – The course of true love never did run smooth – Love is blind – Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.
