This dictionary contains the essential words and phrases needed for everyday communication by learners of English and information on how these words and phrases are commonly used. It builds on the Easier English Basic Dictionary and is especially useful for intermediate learners of all ages who are expanding their vocabulary and knowledge of English.

When several words seem to have almost the same meaning, how do you choose the right word so that you express exactly what you want to? This book groups words with similar meanings (known as ‘synonyms’) together and gives each a definition and example so that the similarities and differences are made clear.

Anyone who wants to write clear and accurate English, using the correct word in a particular context, will find this book helpful, and a useful companion to the Easier English Basic Dictionary.

This dictionary contains the most frequently used words in English and provides the basic vocabulary needed for everyday communication by anyone starting to learn the language. It is especially useful for elementary and pre-intermediate students of all ages and would be suitable for those working towards an elementary level English examination such as KET or PET.

Thousands of new expressions have entered the language since the turn of the century and dozens, perhaps hundreds, more are added to the common vocabulary every week. The lexicographer has to try to identify novelties as they arise and to track the changes in the way existing words are being used. This dictionary has been regularly updated since its first publication in 1990 - but this, the first edition in the new millennium, has seen a wholesale revision of all entries and the addition of about 2,000 new terms.

This situationally-graded book is intended for intermediate and advanced students wishing to learn and practise the type of informal conversational English in current, everyday use. Forty- four situations are presented, each in the form of four short dialogues. The aim of the student should be to memorise as many as possible of the expressions and phrases contained in the dialogues, since they are used by English people time and time again in the given situations.

This book offers teachers a wealth of activities based on reading and listening realia (authentic or simulated-authentic) at an elementary to upper-intermediate level. Supports teachers presenting a ‘Background to Britain’ through a range of authentic and semi-authentic maps, menus, and street plans. The book presents real cities, real events, and real people.

The activities offer content for a discussion about Britain, comparing and contrasting that society with the student’s own, as well as providing some practical material for an eventual study tour trip to the UK.

Throughout the book there are clear explanations, and exemplar sentences where they are needed. When it’s helpful to draw attention to spelling rules and patterns, these are given so that the reader is further empowered to deal with hundreds of related words.

Everyone has bad language habits. We hear language errors on TV, at work, and even from our family so many times that the errors might seem correct. But they’re still errors, and they can make us sound less sophisticated, or even less intelligent, than we really are. Fortunately, you can form new, good habits the same way you got stuck with the bad ones: by repetition.
