How to use wight in a sentence?

1. Transort Secretary Grant Shapps:

   The trial in the Isle of Wight of that tracking app, the NHSX app designed to help assist people, is going well. People have been downloading it enthusiastically and I know that the plan is later in the month to make it more widely available as well.

2. Tommy Potter:

   Isle of Wight County, it is a great place to live, to work, to raise kids, this is a small, tight-knight community. We are an oasis… We don’t have a lot of murders. When something like this happens, especially when it goes unsolved for this long, it does shake the foundation a little bit. People want to know if someone’s trying to take advantage of our quiet way of life here. The field had to have been known by somebody… It kind of reminds people this can happen here. This kind of gruesome crime, it can happen in our backyards.

3. Christopher Barker:

   Compton Bay is a famous site for dinosaur fossils on the Isle of Wight. Most of these come from the older Wessex Formation, which was teaming with dinosaurs, our spinosaurs are indeed from the Vectis Formation, and bones( dinosaurs or otherwise) are rare in that formation( which is made up of several rock layers).
