Most dictionaries will tell you a number of things about a language. There are three important things.
These three things are spelling, pronunciation and meaning.
First, a dictionary will tell you the spelling of a word. If you are not sure about the spelling of a word,
you can try to find the correct spelling in a dictionary. Words are listed in an alphabetical order-a, b, c and
so on. For example, on a dictionary page the "poor" comes before "poverty" and the word "poverty" comes
before the "power". The words are always given in alphabetical order. The second thing, a dictionary will
tell you the pronunciation. Most dictionaries give phonetic (语音的), or sound alphabet. The phonetic
alphabet shows pronunciation. The third thing, a dictionary will tell you the meaning of words. You can
look up a word and find out what it means. Many words have more than one meaning, and a good dictionary
will tell you all of the word's meanings. For example, in English the common word "get" has over 20 different
meanings.
