In at least fifty words, discuss the differences between a dictionary and a thesaurus. explain when to use each, what they are used for, and how information is arranged within them.

A dictonary is a book of words with their meaning, or usage. A thesaurus is a book also of words but describes them as ''word families'' by listing their synonyms without giving their meaning. A dictionary also can show the words in other languages or how they mean different in another language.   Hope this helps! my fingers hurt xD

Dictionaries and thesauri are reference books for words. A Dictionary contains alphabetical lists of words that includes the meaning, etymology and pronunciation while the thesaurus is a book that contains synonyms and even antonyms. A dictionary explains the meaning of a word and shows how it is spelled and used.
