Default Dictionary That Gives Sentences

Does anybody know of a dictionary that gives not only the meaning of the word, but also a sentence using the word? Some dictionaries do so, but not always - it is very sporadic. A sentence would better help my son understand the meaning. Thank you.

hello BreezyGal
I think Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English Provide the reader with sentences which help in understanding the words you look up
