Answer 4

A dictionary is a reference source that will tell you several things about a word:

• correct spelling
• correct punctuation
• meaning of the word
• part of speech
• how to make the word plural, or how to make it descriptive
• how to use the word in a phrase or sentence
• alternate words that mean the same thing

Dictionaries are listed in alphabetical order. You use a dictionary by first knowing either the correct spelling, or a close spelling - then you turn to the correct page to find the word you want.

If you don't know how to spell the word, you will either have to ask someone or try to spell it as best you can and look to see if you got close. For example, if you want to look up the word that means "a coin collector" because you saw a TV ad about it, but you don't know how to spell the word, you could guess it would be "newmismatist" - that does not come up with anything, so you try spelling it "numismatist" and you find the word.
