An oath is something like a promise. The major difference
between the two is that an oath is much more solemn. You would not make an oath that you and your
friend will have lunch together tomorrow. That would be a promise. However, when something much
more important is being promised, that is an oath. That is, for example, why a new president
takes an "oath of office" before he (or someday she) takes
power.
So, you can make a sentence about any sort of solemn promise
like that. For example, "At many schools, students take an oath to obey certain rules like rules
that forbid them from copying their homework."
