How do you use the phrase in lieu of a sentence?

You can't use "in lieu of" as a sentence on its own. It's a prepositional phrase, meaning it needs to be part of a larger sentence to make sense.

Here's how you use it:

"In lieu of" means "instead of" or "in place of".

Examples:

* "In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the charity." (Instead of flowers, the family wants donations.)

* "We will be holding a virtual meeting in lieu of an in-person one." (We will have a virtual meeting instead of an in-person one.)

* "He received a bonus in lieu of a raise." (He got a bonus instead of a raise.)

Remember: "In lieu of" is always followed by a noun or noun phrase.
