How would you use the word triumph in a sentence?

My daughter has to use this word in a sentence and I'm sorry but I don't know what to tell her, I never use this word "triumph" so I'm lost for words ... the dictionary says a great victory,but to use it in a senence, how? She's 8 years old, so a G rated sentence would be nice.

Thanks to all in advance that are there for support .

    Use Triumph In A Sentence

    That's a good use of the word. As a noun, we usually refer to an achievement as a triumph. Often a "triumph FOR sb": ex. It was a triumph for women everywhere. This was a great triumph for him. As a verb, we usually use it with "over" as you used it, or by itself: ex. He triumphed over all his opponents. However, I think the adjective form is more common when you're more talking about crushing the competition, and less talking about an achievement. ex. He will be triumphant in the competition. I was triumphant against my opponents. Hope this helps

    For me to answer this question for you is a triumph for my soul! 'All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing’

    Good will always triumph over evil, or have it be about her favorite Disney type movie, a good guy will always triumph over the bad one. The hard part is the tense of the word not being able to add the s.
