The main parts of a dictionary are the entry word, pronunciation guide, part of speech, definition, and examples of usage. The entry word is the word being defined, the pronunciation guide shows how to say it, the part of speech tells you what kind of word it is, the definition explains its meaning, and examples show how it is used in context.
