There are words with similar meanings, but there might be a key difference between them. This dictionary shows how one of these words with similar meanings may sound correct in a particular context or phrase, and why the other may not sound apt. The example sentences further simplify the usage of the word.

Longman Language Activator gives the exact meaning of the words and then also gives example sentences where these words are used. This makes it very easy to understand the words and use them correctly. It also shows how words with the same meaning and varying degrees of intensity, for example, very and extremely, can be used. To make it easier to understand, the examples highlighted are from common and everyday usage.

The user can find the words either by looking for keywords, common words that express similar ideas, or by looking for them in the index. The Longman Language Activator not only improves the vocabulary of the user, but also helps in polishing grammatical skills and helps express ideas effectively with flawless use of the language. It helps make the language more impressive and expressive.

Longman Language Activator is an ideal dictionary for students, new learners of the English language, and for those who want to improve their writing and speaking skills.
