Perhaps you misunderstand what a dictionary is for.
If you don't understand the meanings of these words, you can look them up and find out. Then, when you do understand them, you can write your very own sentences.

Hello, I am the French, I am not a teacher,

but I think the easier way to understand these words it's to tape on your browser for example 'Cambridge Dictionaries Online'.

You will find what your are looking for like M.Raymott has suggested.

If you still don't understand we help you to master the meaning.

Have a nice and sunny day.

Was that suppose to be a small-time joke there?There are times when you read definitions from dictionaries and think , how do i use this ? Knowing the definition of a word is one thing but properly using it is another.

I think what Raymott is driving at is, if you write some sentences using those words and post them here, then someone will advise you as to whether you are using them correctly or not.

I absolutely agree, a word or an idiom cannot be used in every context. The dictionaries do not state the contexts, they can be used in. Thus it becomes imperative to know the usage from an expert who uses the word frequently...

OK.
The old man abhors cabbages. He looks at these vegetables with repugnance.
Now Bust3rboi has his sentences.

No, it's not any sort of joke.
What good is it to you to be given sentences with words in them if you don't understand the words?
Perhaps you don't just want what you asked for. Maybe you want someone to give you a meaning for these words. But this has been done by experts - they make dictionaries. Most dictionaries give examples. If yours don't, find some that do.

I understant why M.Raymott has answered like this.

Sometimes people don't take the dictionnary and post to rapidily the question on the site.
I am sure he did not want to be hard in this answer.

I think nobody it's upset now.

Thank Raymott and the other too.

Bye.
