Normal

A dictionary is a special book that helps you find the meanings of words. Each word is listed in alphabetical order, which means they are arranged from A to Z. Next to each word, you will see its definition, or meaning. For example, if you look up the word 'happy,' you might find a definition like 'feeling good or joyful.' Dictionaries can also show you how to pronounce words and give you examples of how to use them in sentences.
