How to Use Coverts in a Sentence

Kids often have hiding places. So do wild animals. If you hunt partridge, for example, you probably won't find partridge in a parking lot. Where you will find partridge, and sometimes kids, is in a covert, or hiding place. The word "covert" derives from middle English and originally from the French word "couvert," the masculine passive participle of the verb "cuvrir," meaning "to cover." It's very easy to use the word "coverts" in a sentence.
