The dactyl he employs chiefly in the first, third, and fifth feet, the anapaest in the first and fifth.
The anapaest is rare in nearly all classical writers; Catullus does not admit it at all, and Horace only five times in all.

The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "anapaest" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
