Question

Visit the library and look for an encyclopedia. What is it? Check how it is different from a dictionary. Share your answers with your classmates and teacher.

Answer 1

An encyclopedia is a book or collection of books that gives detailed information about many subjects, such as science, history, geography, people, places, and events.

A dictionary mainly gives the meanings, spellings, pronunciations, and usage of words.

Difference: An encyclopedia explains a topic in detail, while a dictionary explains individual words.
