How to Find Definitions
If you want to find definition for a word in the
Webster’s Elementary Dictionary
, your
Elementary
Spelling Ace
can give you its page number.
1. Type a word (for example,
fountain
) and
then press
PAGE
.
The number shows on which dictionary
page the definition of
fountain
is found.
Most words only have one definition entry.
If a word only has one definition entry then
the screen displays
Entry 1 of 1
.
A few words have more than one definition
entry (for example,
does
). If a word has more
than one definition entry, the screen displays
Entry 1 of 2
. Press to see all of the entries.
If the page number for a definition entry has a
hyphen (
335–
), then its definition stretches
across more than one page (for example,
novel
).
If you type a related word, such as a plural
noun (for example,
dogs
) or a past verb tense
(for example,
walked
), the dictionary shows
its root word (for example,
dog
and
walk
).
3. Press
CLEAR
when you are finished.
