What is in here

The vocabulary a student actually meets: subject terms from Science, Maths and Social Science, the command words that exam questions are built from — explain, justify, derive — and the everyday words that carry marks in a written answer.

It is not a complete English dictionary, and it does not hold names, places or slang. If a word you need is missing, that is worth telling us through the contact page — the list grows from what people actually look up.

Looking to read a whole sentence? Translate does it word by word, and is honest about what that can and cannot do.
