Could anyone use it in another sentence?

Would anyone use it in another sentence?

Do they sound the same in tone?

Thanks

for me, the first one sounds more like a grammar question. you ask if it's grammatically correct to use it in another sentence, or if you can do it at all.
in the second one you ask if it's used generally in another sentence. There are many verb forms or any words which you can use grammatically correct in several sentences, but usually you use only one possibility.

okay? greets

I agree with Stellara. The first sentence has one other possible meaning, though: it's a ploite way to ask someone to use "it" in another sentence.
