I am sorry, but I do not understand your Question.
Do you mean the "exact usage" of an English word?
A sentence is a single thought, expressed.
"Sentence:
A combination of words which is complete as
expressing a thought, and in writing is marked at the
close by a period, or full point.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Sentences are simple or compound. A simple sentence
consists of one subject and one finite verb; as, "The
Lord reigns." A compound sentence contains two or more
subjects and finite verbs." [1913 Webster]
Or, maybe you mean "tense." That is how verbs are conjugated.
"Tense \Tense\, n. [OF. tens, properly, time, F. temps time,
tense. See Temporal of time, and cf. Thing.] (Gram.)
One of the forms which a verb takes by inflection or by
adding auxiliary words, so as to indicate the time of the
action or event signified; the modification which verbs
undergo for the indication of time.
[1913 Webster]
I look. I looked. I am looking. etc.,
English is very difficult to learn as a second language. Make friends with native-speakers, talk to them and practice.
Best of luck to you! :-))

Some English dictionaries contain more example sentences than others. In particular, the Oxford English Dictionary, Shorter edition( a 2 vol edition of the famous 30 vol edition)
has plenty of sentences.
Other vocabulary books like "The Verbal Advantage" and the "Word smart" series include great sample sentences.
Both of these books (Word smart includes several different editions) include a sophisticated vocabulary with useful, precise, but not "peculiar" words.
The OED also includes quotations from famous writers using many vocabulary words in sentences.
Good luck!

Utilise the on line dictionary of Webster. They have also audios on correct diction and examples of proper use of words. Then buy a pocket dictionary to. It can be handy in your place of work, if you have appropriate finances, then you can buy a palm top with dictionary, thesaurus and everything in it.
