Does anyone know any website or corpus (apart from jisho.org, weblio, reverso context or glosbe) where for a given word I can get lots of simple sentences with that word?

There are many times that when I look for examples of use of a word in jisho.org I get none or the sentences that appear are not useful to me.

After some googling I have found some pages that also give example sentences, but these are all the same as the sentences on jisho.org. :(

Could you please tell me any other website in which I could look for example sentences?

Thank you so much in advance!

  • Just so you know, I think this question is off-topic for the main JL SE as it is asking about resources, but it would be fine for the meta SE.

  • Is there a way to send this to meta SE?

Tsukuba Web Corpus is excellent. (http://nlt.tsukuba.lagoinst.info/search/)

I'm surprised no one has pointed you to the resources page as it contains links to every corpus we know about.

  • How did you find that page?

  • I typed "resources" in the search bar on the Meta page. If you mean how did I know about it in the first place, someone mentioned it in a comment to a question asking for resources on the main site.

  • I think that's part of the problem, things like resources, question guidelines and other important pages should be obvious to find from the start page without any prior knowledge.

I often use 青空文庫 (https://www.aozora.gr.jp/) combined with google search: query with "the-word" + site:aozora.gr.jp. For example, try "お手本"

Another great source is 少納言, there's also 中納言 with more features but requires login (free registration).
