How to use "Fitful" in context?
Smiling faces and dance in time to the gentle rhythm of the waves crashing against the shore. This is the scene that greets visitors to the seashore. But not all beaches are created equal. Some boast beautiful sand that is smooth and black; while others are covered in coarse, rocky sand. The type of sand also has a big impact on how comfortable someone will be while walking or running on it. Smooth sand is better for jogging or walking, as there is less drag. However, rougher sand is better for sprinting or playing football because the surface is more gripping.
