Example sentences for: ence

How can you use “ence” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

If houses sink into the earth, the cause is no longer subsidence , pronounced SUB'sidence, it is subSIDE\?\ence, an obvious back-formation from the verb subside .
Other, often dialectal aberrations such as in surance and in flu ence are also readily understandable.
The same, however, cannot be said either of the recent and increasingly common af flu ence, barely, if at all, distinguishable from the similarly mis-stressed ef flu ents, or of defuse , when a failure to place nearly equal emphasis on both syllables leads to the word's being mistaken for the verb diffuse .
Yet, with the exceptions of af flu ence, defuse, and, for Americans, the now-disapproved cervical, these examples of difference in stress can be said to be no more than small blips in the smooth flow of ideas.
