Students learning English often have difficulties knowing which preposition goes with a particular adjective. This is where this dictionary will help you. It contains about 700 entries. By looking up the adjective you will find the preposition, a definition and an example

indispensable adj indispensable to so important that nothing will happen without it: Thorough research is indispensable to a historian.

In the above short entry
indispensable = the headword, the basic adjective
adj = the part of speech
indispensable to = the adjective and the correct preposition
so important that nothing will happen without it = the definition of the adjective
Thorough research is indispensable to a historian = an example of the adjective as it would typically be used in a sentence, with the adjective and preposition in bold type

Some entries have style markers (formal) or (informal) to help you know the context when to use the adjective

resplendent adj (formal) resplendent in looking very impressive because of how you are dressed: The duke entered the assembly chamber, resplendent in his robes of state.

crazy adj crazy about (informal) fond of or very interested in: As a teenager she'd been crazy about David Bowie. I can't say I'm crazy about this idea.
