How to use «Point out» in context?

When it comes to using verbs in a sentence, there are a few important points to remember. Notably, when it comes to pointing out, focus on the action and not on the person or thing being pointed out. For example, say «The dog points out the squirrel.» The focus here is on the dog, not the squirrel. The sentence would be different if the focus were on the squirrel and the dog were pointing it out.
