How To Use A Dictionary?

A dictionary is very simple to use. All dictionaries generally have the words in a alphabetical order for example, if you looking for the word 'patient' all you have to do is skip the earlier pages and move to pages that contain words that start with 'p''. Next look for the second word in an alphabetical order, like in the word 'patient' the next alphabet in the order is 'a' so look for 'pa', and keep moving down till you find the word 'Patient'. Some dictionaries may also be in some analogous phonetic order.

The dictionary generally provides you with all the information on a particular word. It gives you pronunciation information; grammatical information; word derivations, histories, or etymologies; illustrations; usage guidance; and examples in phrases or sentences. The famous dictionary known worldwide is the Oxford English Dictionary.
