    About this ebook

    This book is designed for people who are learning English as a foreign language and wish to improve their use of English proverbs and sayings. This is the first set of 101 proverbs and sayings by the author, originally written in 2008. A second set, written in 2013 is also available.

    This book contains 101 proverbs and sayings that are frequently used in English, arranged alphabetically. Each proverb or saying is provided with an example of its use. A short list of topics where the proverbs and sayings are often used is also provided. The examples are provided as answers to questions from the IELTS test, but the book can be used by any teenage or adult learner who is at intermediate or advanced level.
