Depending of the word that I will look for
and the topic, I look for in one dictionary or another.
I try to research definitions of “advertise”
from some dictionaries:
·
describe or draw
attention to (a product, service, or event) in a public medium in order to
promote sales or attendance:
A billboard advertising
beer´
·
publicize information
about (a vacancy):for every job we advertise we
get a hundred applicants:
He advertised for dancers in the trade papers
·
make (a quality or fact) known:Meryl
Archaic notify (someone) of something:
some prisoners advertised the French of this terrible danger
some prisoners advertised the French of this terrible danger
·
to make something known to :
·
to announce publicly especially by a printed notice or a broadcast
·
to call public attention to especially by emphasizing desirable
qualities so as to arouse a desire to buy or patronize
·
to present or praise (goods, a service, etc) to the
public, esp in order to encourage sales
·
to make (something, such as a vacancy, article for
sale, etc) publicly known, as to possible applicants, buyers, etc: to
advertise a job
·
(intransitive) followed by for: to
make a public request (for), esp in a newspaper, etc: she advertised
for a cook
All
definitions from these dictionaries are very similar but I prefer to use Oxford
dictionary because It has good examples of sentences with the word which I am
looking for.
However when I checked learnersdictionary I saw more and better examples than on Oxford dictionary.
