Finding a word
Before begin to use a dictionary, make sure that we know the order of the letters of the alphabet. It will save your time.
The alphabet:
a b c d e f g h I j k lm n o p q r s t u v w x y z – small letters
A B C D E FG H I J K L M N O P Q R ST U V X Y Z – CAPITALS
Words are listed according to their first letter. This is call alphabetical order. There are, of course, many words that begin with the same letter so we must look at the second letter, the third letter an so on. For example, hire comes before hoard because i comes before o in the alphabet.
