How is 假 used in a sentence?
This page shows 43 sentences using 假 (jiǎ, "False (artifical - borrow)"), each with pinyin, an English translation and audio. Every one of them was written by hand for this site.
Are these sentences machine generated?

Why do some sentences show 假 inside a longer word?
Because that is where a single character usually lives. Seeing 假 inside the words it builds is how the character stops being an isolated symbol and starts being something you can read.
