How is 愣 used in a sentence?
This page shows 5 sentences using 愣 (lèng, "Stupefied"), each with pinyin, an English translation and audio. Every one of them was written by hand for this site.

Because that is where a single character usually lives. Seeing 愣 inside the words it builds is how the character stops being an isolated symbol and starts being something you can read.
