How can you use “waterless” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
If we can sort out all the details here—no mean task—it emerges that W9 's vocabulary entries include both what I earlier called main entries (like watershed ) and what I called subentries (like waterless in CED ). But it appears that Longman's headwords are only those that are, or introduce, main entries.
On the other hand, the shared main entry for watershed has twenty-three words in CED but 93 in Cobuild . And the word waterless is a main entry in Cobuild , explained in twenty words, whereas in CED it is naught but a so-called “undefined runon”—merely mentioned, but not explained explicitly, as a sub-entry at water . So CED enters more items than Cobuild , but devotes less space to explaining them.
