Review of How To use the Dictionary ..
f you are unable to understand the meaning of an
unfamiliar word by using context clues, then you should
look up the word in a dictionary. Here are tips for proper
dictionary usage. ü Look at the preface and notes in your
dictionary. The preface contains explanations about the
various symbols and abbreviations. Find out what your
dictionary has to offer. ü Good dictionaries include all
known definitions of a word. When you are looking up a
word, do not stop after you have read the first meaning!
Keep reading, and look for the meaning that best fits the
context of your sentence. ü If the difficult word has a
prefix such as un-- or mis-, you may have to look up the
root word.
