• find the English translation of a word in your language
• check the spelling of a word
• check the plural of a noun or past tense of a verb 
• find out other grammatical information about a word
• find the synonym or antonym of a word
• look up the collocations of a word
• check the part of speech of a word
• find out how to say a word
• find out about the register of a word
• find examples of the use of a word in natural language

 

* A dictionary has a list of words in alphabetical order.

* After the word, we find the pronunciation guide and information about the word.

* Only root words are listed in the dictionary. Remove the ending and look up the root word.

* When words begin with the same letter, we use the second letter to put the words in alphabetic order.
