Which of the following is not a purpose of a dictionary?
what is the folling??
The purpose of the dictionary is a pretty simple one that doesn't require much explanation. Its purpose is to feed us definitions of words that we otherwise would not know how to use in our everyday language due to no understanding of when it is to be used. It also helps in giving us the various ways of saying them, and how to pronounce them. That"s how to use it
A dictionary helps us define words into a more understandable meaning. There can be multiple meanings for a word, which the sentence will determine which meaning makes more sense. Some dictionaries will have etymology, which can help you understand the origin of a word or phrase. I can list many ways a dictionary can be used, like hitting the head of a student with it when they are sleeping during class. Anyways, you cannot use a dictionary for finding clauses, or finding similarities to phrases.
