Today I saw a sentence - Able was I ere I saw Elba. It was said the sentence was one of the most typical examples in English. Could you give me some other examples? Thank you for your help in advance. :)))

"Able was I ere I saw Elba" is a palindrome, which is a phrase or sentence that can be read backwards and forwards. Some popular examples that schoolchildren know are "Madam, I'm Adam" and "A man, a plan, a canal - Panama!"

I just know some simple palindromes like Hannah, Anna, dad, mom, etc.
Ah, there are some palindromes I've just googled for you. They are called Word-Unit Palindromes. ^_^
Says Mom, "What do you do?" – You do what Mom says.
Did I say you never say "never say never"? You say I did.
