Old-fashioned sayings

 English has some lovely, slightly old-fashioned sayings. Though young people might not use them as much as the older generation, most people certainly understand them. And if you use them, you’ll endear yourself to anyone who’s listening. And you’ll certainly sound like you know English very well. 


 A little bird told me

This saying means that you have heard a secret but you can’t say who told you. 

‘A little bird told me that Susan’s getting married again. This’ll be her fourth husband!’
