French Sample Sentences
I use Spanish Dict regularly to look up example sentences by word in Spanish, but I can't find any similarly reliable resource for French. I have tried bab.la and I have several dictionary apps installed on my phone but I often have to try two or three at a time for a give word to find a good sentence. Any suggestions?

Re: French Sample Sentences
How about Linguee? You can search words in one language, and it finds loads of sentences, plus a translation into another language. For example, here is the French/English pair for the word Baguette
https://www.linguee.com/english-french/ ... y=baguette
https://www.linguee.com/english-french/ ... y=baguette

Re: French Sample Sentences
I use the ReversoContex as well, it helps a lot to get the right meaning, especially when I am editing a rough AI translation using Microsoft Word translation tool.
When the translation does not make sense, I start fine tuning by going to the Reverso Contex and find the option that best suits the phrase I am working on.
An online artificial intelligence translation is the first step, then the Reverso Contex will help me polish it.
