How to use preface in a sentence?

  1. Sarah Gietschier-Hartman:

    We need to use the technology to be flexible, i know how I want my classes to go, but maybe I preface each lesson by saying,' I would love for you to do this activity, but I also understand that you may want to do this tonight and report back tomorrow.'.

  2. Isaac D?Israeli:

    Is a preface exquisitely written? No literary morsel is more delicious. Is the author inveterately dull? It is a kind of preparatory information, which may be very useful. It argues a deficiency of taste to turn over an elaborate preface unread: for it is the attar of the author?s roses, every drop distilled at an immense cost. It is the reason of the reasoning, and the folly of the foolish.

  3. Eyal Poleg:

    We know virtually nothing about This Bible – whose preface was written by Henry VIII Henry VIII – outside of the surviving copies.
