    If you simply do a yahoo search or google search for the word, you will likely find that word in a sentence.

    You can also enter "dictionary yourword" into the search bar, and you'll find a dictionary defnition. For example, I typed in "dictionary lascivious" and got http://dictionary.reference.com/wordoftheday/archi... as a response. The word of the day at http://dictionary.reference.com/ not only defines words, but gives 3 examples of the word in a sentence.

    Even if you don't get a full sentence with a dictionary definition, you'll often find the word used as part of a clause. This will often be displayed in italic font.

    Once you find the definition, you can do another search for the term on the web, and you'll be more likely to note if it's used correctly when you do find it.

    If you can't find your word in a sentence, you can always ask here.

    Good luck!
