Uptill now I used to type the word on google to get the relevant sentence. But yesterday I find a tool where you can even add a phrase or word to get the sentence which uses it. It actually finds the sentence from BNC (British National Corpus) , which is a 100 million word collection of samples of written and spoken language from a wide range of sources, designed to represent a wide cross-section of current British English, both spoken and written. . To know more about BNC click here.
You can search for a single word or a phrase, for example Dogged or brown bread.
Use the _ character to match any single word, for example bread _ butter finds bread and butter, bread or butter etc.
Use the = character to restrict searches by part of speech, for example house=VVB finds only verbal uses of house.
Use braces { and } to enclose a regular expression, for example {s[iau]ng} finds sing, sang or sung
