How to use a word in a sentence

I like to learn new words but sometimes I comprehend them best by reading them in a sentence. Sometimes I still can not grasp the word by the example sentences in the dictionary. Where can I find words used in sentences?

Honestly, I don't know what to say...

Check Dictionary.com. If you still don't get the examples provided there... well, perhaps you need to improve your overall English first...

If I don't know how to use a word in ANY language, I "google" it to see how it appears in context. If it's used commonly, you'll get a lot of examples.

www.thefreedictionary.com for reading real example sentences. Type in your word in the search box and it'll show you real example sentences of the word used by authors and novelists in English literatue. That's how I find additional example sentences. Plus, there are not written by ordinary fols so there is a less chance of being the word used incorrectly.

for example , the search result for the word "indigent" is:

* THEY are not written by ordinary FOLKS so there is a less chance of being the word used incorrectly.
