How to use wear in a sentence?

  1. Billie Eilish:

    I never want the world to know everything about me, i mean, that's why I wear big, baggy clothes. Nobody can have an opinion because they haven't seen what's underneath, you know ? Nobody can be like,' Oh, she's slim-thick, she's not slim-thick, she's got a flat ass, she's got a fat ass.' No one can say any of that, because they don't know.

  2. Bobi Wine:

    Many of our people will betray us, many of them will be tortured, others will die on the way and a few of us will wear the victor's crown - Bobi Wine

  3. Donna Lewis:

    Nancy Pelosi has a way about Nancy Pelosi, i know the colors Nancy Pelosi wears, and I knew Nancy Pelosi would know just how to wear the masks.

  4. Mitch Skandalakis:

    They’re torturing these kids -- from the time they get on the bus they have to wear a mask to the time they get home they wear a mask, that is eight hours even when they are on the playground. These children are suffering, not learning. When they are not wearing masks properly they are being yelled at.

  5. Marsha Blackburn:

    The Democrats are back at it again – whatever it takes to put you back into lockdown, now we hear that Speaker Pelosi is going to have people arrested if they do not wear a mask. I don’t know about you, I’ve not heard one valid reason that a person who has been vaccinated should be forced to wear a mask.
