How to use useful in a sentence?

  1. Samuel Johnson:

    Books that you carry to the fire, and hold readily in your hand, are most useful after all.

  2. Alex Ernst:

    It can be really useful and really dangerous, part of being a responsible person in the political sphere is trying to figure out what's real and what's not -- what are just opinions. Even the littlest thing that someone does can be twisted into something that its not. There's a danger in that, obviously.

  3. Rodrigo Nunes:

    The way Jair Bolsonaro narrative is built, to a large extent, as a copy or a mirror image of the narrative that they have in United States is very useful in the sense of showing people this is happening in other places, too. This proves the whole idea that there is a global conspiracy, a global left wing conspiracy to keep us, the people who represent the real people, out of power.

  4. Mike Baker:

    North Korea is a giant prison where mass starvation is happening. It is an insane regime where there is no respect for human rights, and it is patently absurd that they would take this opportunity to criticize the U.S. this leaves us with a propaganda piece that is a very useful tool not only for North Korea and other hostile nations, but more dangerously, for the Muslim extremists of ISIS and Al Qaeda who will use this to enhance their recruitment and propaganda efforts and to attempt to entice their supporters into violence.

  5. Jemal Moussa:

    Coffee comes only once a year. But you can harvest khat twice a year, khat is much more useful.
