Task 3: Comparison of dictionaries

The word I have chosen is: humble.

Oxford Dictionary: it provides me different definitions as an adjective with possible synonims and examples, also provides differents definitions as a verb with possible synonims and examples. The meaning of English phrases, for example "eat humble pie", "one's humble abode" or "your humble servant". It gives you the origin too, and the pronuntation.

Webster Dictionary: it provides me differents definitions of the word and gives a lot of examples about the word in a text, also gives the pronuntation of humble. Then, explains the word as a transitive verb with examples, giving a lot of synonims too. We have the different explanations of phrases such as "eat humble pie", "from humble origins", "humble oneself" and "of humble origins". At the end, it explains the word humble as a verb and as an adjective, but in two parts: when the interested people are English language learners or, on the other hand, they are kids.

WordReference: in my opinion this is worse than Oxford and Webster Dictionary. It only provides you how it sounds and translate the verb and the adjective to Spanish, giving an example in English. It translates compound forms such as "humble bee", "eat humble pie", "humble pie"or "humble yourself", giving examples too, this time, in Spanish. That's all.

To end, we have the last dictionary to prove, learnersdictionary.com. It clearly distinguishes between humble adjective and humble verb. It provides the pronunciation' sound, the spelling sounds, the different meanings with examples and some indications which you see when you can write the word or not.

They are very complete dictionaries which can help you definitily.
