Dictionaries

When writing with unfamiliar vocabulary, use a dictionary to find the right word. Here are two excellent dictionary websites.

• Cambridge Dictionary

• Dictionary.com

For writing, a good dictionary shows multiple meanings and example sentences. In contrast, when you're reading, you already have an example sentence in front of you—that's why you opened the dictionary—so other examples are less essential.
