USING YOUR COLLINS VISUAL DICTIONARY In order to make sure that the phrases and vocabulary in the Collins Visual Dictionary are given in a way thats clear and easy to understand, we have followed certain policies: 1) All plural words have been marked with the plural marker, for example, herbspl. 2) Where they are different, feminine forms of nouns have been shown after the masculine form, for example, waiter/waitress.

Where only one form has been shown, that form is used for both men and women, for example, firefighter. 3) Verbs are shown in the to infinitive form, for example, to change trains. FREE AUDIO
