Learn the idea

A phrase is a group of words used together without making a complete sentence here: “under the tree”. A proverb gives a familiar lesson, often in a short sentence.

Worked example

“Look before you leap” means think before you act, not only before a physical jump.

  1. Under the tree tells a place but does not tell who is there or what happens.
  2. Mina checks that a path is safe before walking along it. This fits the proverb.
