How to use pair in a sentence?

  1. Andie MacDowell:

    I’ve always liked red lipstick. If you are just wearing a T-shirt and a pair of jeans, you can throw on some lipstick and you look glamorous, it’s very French. I find with silver hair, a red lipstick pops even more. I love this orangey red shade because it really intensifies the color of my hazel eyes.

  2. Tommy Chong:

    Yeah, and me – all of it, the weight-lifting, early on in the movie, that was my life … It was all good. Girls in the van, in the back of the van. We could n’t show that part, but that was real, too. At times, the pair's antics caused frustration on set.

  3. Yogi Berra:

    You guys over there, pair up into groups of three.

  4. Bob Uecker:

    I had a pair of shorts on, i got bit by a spider but I did n’t know it. I did n’t feel it bite me. The next day, I had a red mark on my leg, and it kept getting bigger. I kept trying to take care of it by Bob Uecker but it kept getting worse.

  5. Neil Cybart:

    One factor that will make it very difficult for other companies, including Amazon and Microsoft, to compete with Apple AirPods is that success in wearables requires ecosystem strength and design and fashion expertise, it's not enough just to sell a pair of wireless headphones -- companies need to sell a selection of wearable tools targeting different parts of the body. Developing wearable devices that people want to wear and be seen wearing is not easy and requires empowering designers.
