The Dictionary contains an exceptionally comprehensive Phrase-Finder Index that allows you to look up any key word in an expression and find the exact location of that expression in the main body of the dictionary.

Among the other special features of NTC's American Idioms Dictionary are the following:

Entries include an indication of whether a direct or indirect object refers to people, things, or both.

An appendix lists 500 fixed order sequences-phrases such as fast and furious - which cannot be reversed.

Idioms that are proverbs, slang, informal, or formal are included and identified accordingly.

Each entry has at least two examples that show some of the structural variations of the phrase and illustrate its meaning and use in natural American English sentences.

The dictionary has clear typography and an easy-to-read layout. There is a minimum of abbreviations and confusing dictionary symbols.

NTC's American Idioms Dictionary is an ideal reference for learners and others who seek a thorough and practical guide to contemporary American English idioms.
