3. Can you give me an exmple on how to use them?

Hi Jack,
They don't sound right to me because they don't collocate highly, not because they are impossible, or because they never appear, especially in spoken English.
If you use google to search for these word groups, the resulting number of pages for each is:
'Example about' - 127,000
'Example on' - 920,000
'Example of' - 10,300,000
Of course, so
