Well, there are two definitions so I'll give you two examples (and hope I don't write too much again!)...

1: Wrap the chicken in foil.

2: ...then, we can rush in and foil their plans!

1 meaning a thin sheet of metal, usually made of tin, hence the lengthened name of tin foil. This material is usually used for the purpose of cooking, or to keep food fresh.

2 meaning to, for example, ruin someone's plans. Another use is to find out a secret from someone.

Look at me! I'm a walking dictionary! Hehehe! :P

In art terms, a foil is a contrasting character, object, or element that highlights or accentuates the qualities of another. Foils are often used to bring out certain characteristics or themes in a work of art by placing them in contrast with each other.
