Dictionaries

• Bepaal de woordsoort van het op te zoeken woord (de grammaticale functie: zelfstandig naamwoord, werkwoord, bijvoeglijk naamwoord, enz.). In een woordenboek staan de afkortingen hiervan meestal achter het op te zoeken woord.
  

• Lees alle informatie die het woordenboek geeft voor dat type woord en vind de juiste betekenis. Controleer of de betekenis in de zin van de tekst past. Wanneer een woord meerdere betekenissen heeft dan worden de meest voorkomende het eerst genoemd.

Exercise 8 + 9

I have a spelling checker

It came with my PC

It plainly marks for my review

Mistakes I cannot see

I strike a key and type a word

and wait for it to say

whether I am wrong or right

it show me straight away

As soon as a mistake is made

It knows before too long

And I can put the error right

It's rarely ever wrong

I have run this poem through

I am sure you're pleased to know

It's letter perfect all the way

My checker told me so.

Dear John,

I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful.

People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. 

You have ruined me for other men.

I yearn for you. 

I have no feelings whatsoever when we are apart.

 I can be forever happy. 

Will you let me be yours?

Marsha

Dear John,

I want a man who knows what love is.

All about you are generous, kind, thoughtful people who are not like you. 

Admit to being useless and inferior!

You have ruined me.

For other men I yearn. 

For you, I have no feelings whatsoever.

When we are apart, I can be forever happy.

Will you let me be?

Yours,

Marsha
