As I have known in the last many years of English teaching, "Practice Makes Perfect" is in its noun-form; whereas "The more one practises, the better it would be" is a verb. Yet, when a "native" English may commit any mistakes, not the NON-natives. Being an English teacher, we have the responsibility of telling the students the correct uses, but also let them to know the irregularities.
