The most important thing that the dictionary you buy must contain:
The dictionary that you buy “must” contain example sentences along with every word. For example:
reaction: Response to an earlier activity.
E.g. Sentence: What was your reaction when you heard the news?
Having an example sentence is very useful. Some times the meaning provided with the word may be a little confusing.
So you may misunderstand what the word means. The sample sentence clears all such doubts.
Not only this, having a sample sentence is very important because it tells you how the word can be used in
conjunction with other words. How the different words connect to form a sentence. Reading the sample sentence
“programs the brain” to use the word properly.
So, when you purchase a dictionary, make sure it has a lot of sample sentences. It would be even better if you
purchase two different dictionaries with a lot of different sample sentences. This will give you a much better
understanding of the word you look up.
The best way to use the sample sentences in the dictionary is to learn them. Whenever you are looking up some new
word and you come across a sample sentence, you must read it again and again until you know the sentence by-
heart.
If you do this, you will be in a position to use the word or the phrase in sentences of your own correctly. Forming
correct sentences becomes easy if you learn the sample sentences after reading them again and again.
What is input?
Input is basically any correct English that you may hear or read. If you listen to an English radio station, that is input. If
you read a book, then that is input. If you hear to fluent English speakers talking then that is input. If a fluent English
speaker is talking to you in English then that is input. Reading this article is input!
