    Really?!

    I didn't know it!

      Is it an example, or you need a sentinel really?!

    • Dreamer Ḿǻ₦ > Sahar January 22, 2011 10:26
      example :)

      Example?!!

      But…

      “All of my friends call me to be a sentinel there!”

      It was an example too :)

    Is it always a noun?

    How about your example:

    "A policeman stood sentinel at the entrance." ?
