What do the abbreviations used in a dictionary mean?
In a good dictionary the abbreviations they use throughout their pages are spelled out and defined in the first few pages. These abbreviation would most likely be different for each dictionary company so it would be difficult to list and define them all here. But a couple of common abbreviations would be; n = noun (that is person, place or thing: man, house, car) v = verb (that is action: run, walk, drive) adj = adjective (that is a describing word for a noun: nice, big, little) adv = adverb (that is a describing word for a verb: slow, quick, long)

What part of speech is gardening?
The word "gardening" can be used as an adjective, a noun, or a verb. Adjective: I need more gardening tools. Noun: Gardening is my favorite hobby. Verb: I was gardening yesterday. Questions like this can easily be answered by a dictionary. Dictionaries use a lot of abbreviations, so if you are having trouble understanding what your dictionary says, look in the first couple pages for a legend that defines the abbreviations (e.g. "v." means verb, "n." means noun, etc.)
