Just use it as an adjective (meaning apprehensive or hesitant) to describe a person or animal:
My dog never barks because she is too shy.

Or use it as verb meaning "to back away" or "to shrink back":
The dog shied away at the man's clenched fist.

Hope this helps!
:-)

It depends on what you want the sentence to be about. The word shy can easily fit into a sentence such as the person stood in the corner of the room, looking very shy!! Shy is usually put in a sentence if you want to describe the way a person is.

She is a very shy person. It's hard being shy. I wish i wern't so shy. Shy people have a lot to say but just can't put it into word's.

He was going to answer her question, but was too shy to reply.

The shy boy was too nervous to ask the pretty girl to the dance.

Shy is an adjective so you use it to describe things, just like you would with colors.
Ex: That cat is blue... That cat is shy.
I am shy.
So any time you are describing something you can use it.
