Introduction
FOR SUB DIT SERVICES TRAINING ONLY
General
The dictionary gives all the general words that are approved in STE and the examples that show
how to use each word correctly. There is also a selection of unapproved words, which refer to the
equivalent words that are approved in STE. Their examples show you how to use the approved
words to express the same idea (sometimes with different sentence constructions.)
The dictionary does not include technical names (TN) or technical verbs (TV) in the word list. But
some of them are referred to as alternatives to unapproved words.

The part of speech for each word is given in parentheses. Use an approved word only as the part
of speech given (refer to part 1, section 1.)
In the dictionary, there are eight parts of speech:
1. noun (n): A word that is the name of a person, place, object, idea, quality, or activity.
2. verb (v): A word that describes a state of being or an action. Its tense (present, past,
future) tells you when the action occurs.
3. adjective (adj): A word that modifies a noun or noun phrase. It describes, for example, the
type, size, color, or number of a noun or noun phrase.
4. adverb (adv): A word that modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. It answers the
questions, “how?”, “where?”, “when?”, “how often?”, and “how much?”.
6. article (art): A word that tells you whether a noun phrase is new (indefinite = a, an) or one
that you already know (definite = the).
7. preposition (prep): A word that shows how a noun, noun phrase or pronoun is related to
other parts of the sentence.
8. conjunction (conj): A word or phrase that connects words, phrases, and clauses.
Nouns: Nouns are given only in their singular form, but the plural form of countable nouns is
permitted unless the help tells you differently.
Example:
Word Approved meaning/ APPROVED EXAMPLE Not approved example
(part of speech) ALTERNATIVES
AGENT (n) One of a group of DO NOT USE THESE
materials made to do a CLEANING AGENTS
specified task ON HOT SURFACES.
Verbs: Verbs are given in the forms that are permitted (refer to part 1, section 3.)
Do not use verb forms that are not listed. The meaning of the verb can be different if
it has an object (transitive) or no object (intransitive). Such verbs have more than
one approved meaning and approved example.
Example:
Word Approved meaning/ APPROVED EXAMPLE Not approved example
(part of speech) ALTERNATIVES

ADAPTS, that which is necessary PRESSURE
ADAPTED, CONNECTION TO THE
ADAPTED PITOT HEAD.

CONNECTED
SYSTEMS.
Adjectives: Adjectives are given in their basic form, with their comparative and superlative forms
in parentheses. Adjectives that make their comparative and superlative forms with
“more” and “most” do not have these forms listed in the dictionary, because “more”
and “most” are also listed as approved words.
Example:
Word Approved meaning/ APPROVED EXAMPLE Not approved example
(part of speech) ALTERNATIVES
SLOW (adj) At low speed MAKE SURE THAT THE
(SLOWER, MOVEMENT OF THE
SLOWEST) ELEVATORS IS SLOW.
Adverbs: Frequently (but not always), you can make an adverb from an adjective when you
attach an “-ly” ending to it. The comparative and superlative forms of adverbs are

also made with "more" and "most". Thus, they are not given in the dictionary.

Approved words
This column gives the approved meaning (or definition) of an approved word in STE. The text in
these definitions is not written in STE. If a meaning is not given in the dictionary, you cannot use
the word in that meaning. Use an alternative word.
Example:
Word Approved meaning/ APPROVED EXAMPLE Not approved example
(part of speech) ALTERNATIVES
BEHIND (prep) In a position at the rear THE PUMP IS
of INSTALLED BEHIND
THE HYDRAULIC
MOTOR.
Unapproved words
For unapproved words, this column gives approved alternatives that you can use to replace the
unapproved words. These alternatives are in uppercase letters and are only suggestions to help
you.
Example:
Word Approved meaning/ APPROVED EXAMPLE Not approved example
(part of speech) ALTERNATIVES
addition (n) ADD (v) TO GET THE Adjust the clearance by
CORRECT the addition of special
CLEARANCE, ADD shims, as necessary.
SPECIAL SHIMS, AS

It is possible that the suggested alternative for an unapproved word has a different part of speech.
Usually, the first suggested alternative has the same part of speech as the unapproved word.

The dictionary does not include technical names or technical verbs. But, if a technical name or a
technical verb is used in the suggested alternatives, this word is identified as (TN) or (TV).
Antonyms are not included in the dictionary.
Example:
Word Approved meaning/ APPROVED EXAMPLE Not approved example
(part of speech) ALTERNATIVES
uncovered (v) COVER (TN) DO NOT PUT A COVER Leave the container

The approved alternative for an unapproved word can also be more than one word. For these

Help
For some words, there is a graphic symbol and related text that tells you to use another approved
alternative or a different construction. This graphic symbol and its related text is referred to as the
“help” and replaces the old word “note” in the dictionary.
There are four categories of help and they are explained in the examples that follow.
Examples:
Category 1
Recommendations that give you more information or instructions about how to use the approved
word correctly.
Category 2
FOR SUB DIT SERVICES TRAINING ONLY
This category of help tells you that the meanings of some approved words, for example ABOUT
(prep), are restricted. Thus, you must use the suggested alternatives. When the help restricts the
meaning of approved words, the dictionary gives "approved" and "not approved" examples in
columns 3 and 4.
AROUND (prep) TURN THE SHAFT Rotate the shaft about its
AROUND ITS AXIS. axis.
Category 3
This category of help tells you to be careful with the use of the words that are approved for one
context only. For example, the word SWALLOW (v), is only approved for use in safety instructions.
You must not use words like SWALLOW (v) in other different contexts.
Category 4
This category of help tells you to think about the given information. For example, you can only use
FOR SUB DIT SERVICES TRAINING ONLY
the forms of BE (v) that are listed in the dictionary. No other forms are permitted.
Examples:
Word Approved meaning/ APPROVED EXAMPLE Not approved example

manufacture (v) MAKE (v) YOU CAN MAKE THE The clearing tool can be

LOCALLY.
This column gives examples that show you how the unapproved word is used in standard technical
English. The examples also help you to understand how you can use the approved alternatives
and/or different constructions to give the same information.
In an unapproved example, it is possible that you will find more than one unapproved word or a
non-STE construction. Thus, the approved example shows you how to replace all the unapproved
words or use a correct STE construction.
For approved words, column 4 is empty, unless there is help related to other meanings or
restrictions. You can see that for ABOVE (prep) column 4 has an unapproved example.
