There are as many different dictionaries as there are reasons to use one. How do you find the one that's right for you?

· Check out the copyright date to find out how old the dictionary is *.

· Check out some actual definitions. Are they easy to understand? Are there example sentences or phrases that show the word in context? Example sentences are not just helpful — they are actually more important than definitions.

· A good dictionary must give phonetic transcription for every word. Phonetic transcription tells you how to pronounce a word.

· Your dictionary should have both British and American words. Also, both British and American pronunciationshould be given, because both are used in today’s world.
