You just did use it - in a question.
Another might be, "These school grades are very impressive!"

Impressive is an adjective so you can put it before anything you want to sound better. So you can say that was an impressive speech or an impressive moment. Basically it means anything that leaves an impression is impressive. Something that you think about later, that leaves a mark in your life. A statue, thought, person, place, or thing could all be impressive.

in order to know how to use the word, you must know the meaning of it first.
from M-w.com
"making or tending to make a marked impression"
For example:
You could go and see the Effiel Tower and say
"That is impressive"
What that would mean is that you're commenting on the fact that the Effiel Tower is so grand, amazing or whatever you think of it, that it makes an mark in your mind, you remember how awesome it was to see the tower.
Does that clear it up a bit?

Use it as a descriptive:
e.g.: The artist put an impressive amount of work into her painting.
