Question

pawn: make a sentence


does this work?

my dad always said, "dont be a pawn, be your own boss."

Answer 1

Yes. That's a good use of the word. Now, just make sure you've capitalized My and Don't (note apostrophe).

Answer 2

That is the use of "pawn" as a noun, but it can also be used as a verb.

"I was so broke, I had to pawn my jewelry."

I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.
