How to use tend in a sentence?

1. Justin Lehmiller:

   I found that many of the fantasies people tend to stereotype as being as masculine, like threesomes, and feminine, like emotional fulfillment, were actually things that a majority of men and women alike were fantasizing about.

2. Donald H. Rumsfeld:

   Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns - - the ones we don't know we don't know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones.

3. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie:

   Because this President has run up more debt than any president in American history, that debt has been given to us in large measure by the Chinese, and so now, as the Chinese markets tend to have a correction, which they're doing right now, it's going to have an even greater effect because this president doesn't know how to say no to spending, doesn't know how to say no to a bigger and more intrusive government.

4. John Denham:

   English voters, especially, leave voters, tend to prioritize their English identity and want English interests put ahead of the Union, it's not that they are anti-union, it's that their idea of Britishness is as an extension of Englishness and English interests. If the two come into conflict then they prioritize English interests.

5. John Linder:

   I am the optimist. I tend to look a little further out, so right now with planting season upon us, I am more focused getting crops planted in a timely matter, but long term, NAFTA is a big deal. So, when I see emails pop in... they rank right up there with what is going on with North Korea.
