A dictionary entry tells me:

• how to pronounce a word

• the part of speech

• what the word means

• all of the above

The main difference between a dictionary and a thesaurus is:

• There is no difference

• The dictionary tells me the part of speech but the thesaurus uses the word in a sentence

• The dictionary gives me the word's definition and the thesaurus gives me synonyms for that word

• Dictionaries are more expencsive

Using someone else's work to help you without their permission is:

• plagiarism
• periodical
• research
• cite
