How do you use Ruth in a sentence?

Answer 1

The word 'Ruth' is a proper noun, the name of a person. A noun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition. Example sentences for the noun Ruth:

subject of the sentence: Ruth is my cousin.

subject of a clause: The man that Ruth said would call is on the phone.

object of the verb: We saw Ruth at the mall.

object of a preposition: We're giving a party for Ruth.

Edit by different user -- A'Len: I am afraid that the original writer of this answer may be quite mistaken. He took "Ruth" to mean the actual name, however, there is a word in the English language that is spelled and pronounced in precisely the same manner as the name. If the asker was in fact asking how to use the word ruth and not the name, then please allow me to clarify.

In this case, the word ruth is not the same as the name of Ruth.
