本词典有以下特点：1.收了一些类词典没有收或少收的词组，如：表示将来的be going to ,be to ,be about to ,be doing,what's wrong with,what's the matter with,what's the trouble with,what about,how about等，因此，它虽小，但较全。2.“新”是本词典的第二个特点。它根据可靠资料，对某些词组的用法提出了新的特点。它根据可靠的资料，对某些词组的的用法提出了新的观点。如按以往的说法，“what are you？”是问职业与身份，而“Who are you？”是问姓名的。实际上，它们使用起来则不完全这样。3.“实用”是第三个特点。有些词组的区别，是学生们在练习中经常遇到的，但不能区别，如“sorry与thank you 的答语的区别，”本词典就提供了比较详细的答案。
本词典所收同义词组尽力做到人无我有，人有我更好。例句部分选自英美名家作品，部分选自中学课本。这样既地道又与学生实际结合紧密，使学生们用起来有亲切感，又可接解些地地道道的英语。
