Can someone please give me an example of a sentence using the word: impale?
It means to pierce or fix with something pointed.
The robber was about to impale the old lady, but the police made it just in time.
does that make sense?
You might add what he tried to impale her with!!
... about to impale the old lady with his long knife ...
ok, thanks
