Dictionaries and Thesauri

Picture
Dictionaries help us locate a variety of information about words.  Use a dictionary to help you with the following things
          *Definitions (what a word means) 
          *Pronunciations (how to say a word)
          *Examples (how to use the word in a sentence)
          *Part of Speech (Is the word a noun, verb, adjective, adverb, conjunction, preposition, or  
                            interjection? --Don't know these words?--Look them up below!)
                                                    Thesauri are like dictionaries, but their primary purpose is to 
                                                            provide synonyms and antonyms for words.
