Common English Sayings

Commonly Used English Sayings in Casual English

I’m done – Call it a day.

This is used when you’re finished working or done with a particular activity and you’re ready to go home. Your friends might ask you “what’s up” or “what are you going to do now,” you can then reply that you are going to call it a day.

Can’t control  / overwhelming – Getting out of hand.

When you are feeling like the situation is a overwhelming, and you can’t control it any longer.  For example, if you’re at a large gathering and cannot control your guests’ actions, you can say: “this is getting out of hand.”

Fight / don’t give up – Hang in there.

When someone you know is going through hard times, instead of telling them to keep fighting or to not give up, you can tell them to “hang in there, everything will be ok.”
