How to use rear in a sentence?

  1. Tony Basco:

    I've been lost. I'm like a puppy run away from its momma. She took care of me, but my wife, she'd say get up off your rear end and grow up. Because now I've got to take care of the bills, take care of the cat.

  2. Patrick Garrity wrote.But Grant:

    Oh, I am heartily tired of hearing about what Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee is going to do, some of you always seem to think he is suddenly going to turn a double somersault, and land in our rear and on both of our flanks at the same time. Go back to your command and try to think what we are going to do ourselves, instead of what Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee is going to do.

  3. Dave Sullivan:

    Apply this formula to a rear-wheel drive sedan and they might be able to go after a younger consumer who is bored with the played-out BMW 3-Series but wants to move out of their Soul they have had since college.

  4. Michael Davey:

    It is not always possible or safe for officers to enter the rear of those transport vans that are very small, and this one was very small.

  5. Hendrith Smith:

    Cars are evolving to match the new paradigm. Soon, things like steering wheels, pedals and rear-view mirrors will seem ancient. More practically, we will all be better able to optimize our time and attention to focus on more important tasks, family, work, and self care.
