About this product

Product Information

The revised, updated and expanded edition of this dictionary provides a guide to current written and spoken English. Some 3000 headwords are listed alphabetically - from ace to zombie - and each entry includes a full definition, a clear indication of usage, and a sentence illustrating conversational use. There is guidance on pronunciation, where there might be any doubt, and notes on grammar, where relevant. Many entries also include a note of their derivation and origin. Examples include the difference between look over one's shoulder and look over someone's shoulder ; entries on good , good at , good grief , good innings and other goods ; and explanations of all those perculiarly English conversation-fillers, such as just what the doctor ordered , hear! hear! , heavens! and pardon my French . This dictionary provides a reference for everyone learning English as a second language, and it also offers a comprehensive guide to this aspect of current everyday English usage.
