I don't really understand your problem with this word, but I can give you a couple of example sentences: Your book is sheer nonsense = Your book is utter/complete nonsense. The explorer showed sheer courage = The explorer showed extreme courage.

If you are new in English, you needn't use it at all; it is not a common word. Use 'complete'. For further examples, use Google search to find it in many structures.
