Most People Can’t Complete These 15 English Phrases โ€” Can You?

Make your teacher proud.
2 comments

People often use proverbs and idioms (or variations of them) in daily conversation without thinking. They are so ingrained in the English language that many of them have also become cliches. This is because some of these famous sayings have been around for centuries.

Many of these snappy phrases often relate to things like handling money, love, work, loss, friendship, status, health and other things that all people are concerned with on a regular basis. You've probably heard a ton of them in everyday life, even if you weren't sure what they all meant.

So how well do you know your sayings? How many of those proverbs can you complete? A stitch in time saves how many? What is necessity the mother of? What a day keeps the doctor away? Take this quiz to find out just how well-versed you are on famous phrases ranging from the everyday to the obscure.
