(adj) = adjective The most common and useful words in English are marked according to the
(adv) = adverb Macmillan Dictionary ‘star rating’. This is so you can easily recognise the
(conj) = conjunction vocabulary you need to know especially well.
(det) = determiner = very common words = common words = fairly common words
(n/n pl) = noun/noun plural If there is no star next to the word, this means that it is not very common.
(phr) = phrase
(prep) = preposition In the Macmillan Dictionary, (r) is used to indicate American English
(pron) = pronoun pronunciation, for example board /bɔː(r)d/. In British English, this use of
(v) = verb (r) tends to occur only at the end of a word which is followed by a word
starting with a vowel sound, for example far away /fɑːr əˈweɪ/.
