How do you use the word background in a sentence?

Answer 1

a background sentence is a sentence that supports the main idea or what ever sentence that there is above it. For example: Jenny loved her cat Background sentence: as a matter of fact, Jenny loves her so much she always spends time with her! You see that proves and supports that Jenny loves her cat! Hope that helped!

Answer 2

The word 'background' is a compound noun.

A noun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.

Examples:

• The photo's background will be out of focus. (subject of the sentence)
• The color that the background adds brings the painting to life. (subject of the relative clause)
• She used her background in research to her advantage. (direct object of the verb 'used')
• The flowers in the background are peonies. (object of the preposition 'in')

A noun can function as an attributive noun, a noun used to describe another noun.

Example: We do a background check on all applicants.

A noun can function as a predicate nominative (a subject complement) following a linking verb (the object noun restates the subject).

Example: That building is the background I've been looking for.
