How to use succumb in a sentence?
There are age-related medical complications that come with being pregnant at that age such as the baby being born preterm. She's lucky but many may succumb to other complications during or after having a baby.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch:
I think that it makes it harder to predict, I think it makes it harder to determine who's going to succumb to the propaganda.
Sinclair B. Ferguson (1948- ):
For worship is, essentially, the reverse of sin. Sin began (and begins) when we succumb to the temptation, "You shall be as gods." We make ourselves the center of the universe and dethrone God. By contrast, worship is giving God his true worth; it is acknowledging Him to be the Lord of all things, and the Lord of everything in our lives. He is, indeed, the Most High God!”
Without an ego, we have fuzzy boundaries and lose ourselves in other people. We succumb to guilt, and we say yes when we should or want to say no. A healthy ego helps us maintain boundaries.
The question is not whether you're frightened or not, but whether you or the fear is in control. If you say, 'I won't be frightened,' and then you experience fear, most likely you'll succumb to it, because you're paying attention to it. The correct thing to tell yourself is, 'If I do get frightened, I will stay in command.'
