pasos de como buscar en un diccionario bilingüe si pueden en ingles por faa es para mañana

Answer 1

1) The first thing to do is to know what kind of word it is going to look for: noun, adjective, adverb, verb, etc.
 2) In order to carry out the above, one must look for the meaning in the list of abbreviations, which appears at the beginning of the dictionary, for example in Spanish: "s" is noun, while in English it is "n".
 
3) Since a word can have several meanings, not always that which comes at the beginning is the right one. For example, the word "drop" can work as a noun "drop" or as a verb "drop", "to give up", among others.
 
4) There are times when a verb has different meanings, for example, the verb "to move" in English that means "move" or "move", so it must be clear in what context this verb is used .
 
5) It is convenient to look for the same word in the two sections, for example, first in English and then in Spanish to make sure it is the correct word.
 
6) Words appear in simple form without prefixes or suffixes, therefore, before looking for the plural noun, it must be converted into its singular form. For example, the word "bodies" should be searched for in the singular "body".
 
7) To search for the meaning of any conjugated verb it is indispensable to convert it into an infinitive, eliminating the terminations -s (wants> want), -es (comes> come), -ies (studies> study), -ed (played> play) , Or if it is an irregular verb to look for its simple form in infinitive: drank> drink).
 
8) Before looking for the comparative and superlative adjectives that end in -er or -est, the suffix is ​​deleted: faster> fast, fastest> fast.
 
9) Search for the base word by eliminating the -ing ending of the gerund: living> live.
 
10) With respect to the phrasal verbs, one has to first search the verb to find it with the other term, for example, "put off" will appear in bold with the abbreviated verb> p. Off, postponing, postponing, postponing.
 
11) The same thing happens with idioms, for example: Hit the nail on the head, you have to first search the verb "hit" until you find the whole sentence in bold with the abbreviated verb: h. The nail on the head, hit the spot.
