About this ebook
For example, "pull someone's leg" is an idiom but doesn't mean you're pulling someone by the leg. Rather, it means to joke with someone. So basically, a proverb has a symbolic or figurative meaning.
Whereas an idiom is a popular statement that expresses a belief or idea, idioms have been in common use around the world for a long time. A feature of idioms is that many metaphors compare what you want to explain with something else.
For example, "The pen is mightier than the sword" or "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." The meaning of these sentences can be taken as they are.
