Here are some examples:
* "The new shopping mall is encroaching on the nearby park." This means the mall is expanding into the park's area.
* "Technology is encroaching on our privacy." This means technology is increasingly affecting our personal lives and taking away our privacy.
* "The weeds are encroaching on my flower bed." This means the weeds are spreading into the area where the flowers are planted.
"Encroach" can also be used figuratively to describe something that is gradually taking over something else:
* "The stress of work is encroaching on my personal life." This means work is increasingly affecting the time and energy I have for my personal life.
In general, "encroach" implies a negative or unwanted intrusion or expansion.
