Answer 2

Why do people say there's a first time for everything?

Well, the word "there's" is a contraction for either "there is" or "there was." Therefore, there's a first time for everything refers to there being or having been a first time for each thing happening. That's a true statement.

Answer 3

Because they usually mean there´s always a first time for them, like in their lives they get to experience new things, so when they say that they are usually talking about themselves. And to be honest, i do think that there can be new things under the sun. Its just about how you see it. :)
