This dictionary contains the most frequently used words in English and provides the
basic vocabulary needed for everyday communication by anyone starting to learn the
language. It is especially useful for elementary and pre-intermediate students of all
ages and would be suitable for those working towards an elementary level English
examination such as KET or PET.
Each word is individually defined, and no words, not even adverbs, are given without
a definition. Examples are included for many words to provide patterns for the
user’s own production of English sentences.
Each word, including compound words and phrasal verbs, has its own easy-to-find
main entry in bold type. Each word has a pronunciation in the International
Phonetic Alphabet. Common phrases and idioms associated with the main term are
shown in bold type and separately defined within the entry.
The meanings of the main common senses of each word are given clearly and simply,
using a limited and easily understood vocabulary. Meanings are grouped
together by their part of speech.
Extra help is offered in Notes at the end of some entries. These include warnings
about words which can confused with each other, unusual inflected forms and
regularly collocating prepositions. The major differences in US and British
spelling are noted.
A useful companion to this dictionary is Easier English Basic Synonyms which
compares and contrasts words with similar meanings, showing the similarities and
differences in usage.
