Dictionaries have evolved over time from early printed word books to comprehensive online references. They aim to record language as it is used rather than prescribe fixed definitions. Early dictionaries included Samuel Johnson's from 1755 and Noah Webster's American dictionaries from 1806 and 1828. The Oxford English Dictionary began in the late 19th century as a historical dictionary to trace word origins and meanings over time. Modern dictionaries vary in their focus, from descriptive dictionaries capturing common usage to more prescriptive dictionaries focusing on standard forms. Online dictionaries now provide easy access and additional features beyond print references.Class 8 english lesson 3,4 using a dictonary
