We use the when we talk about a person or thing again and the other person knows who or what it is:

Using a Dictionary Quickly

When you read, you can often yhe meaning of new words from the context. Sometimes, however, you may need to use a dictionary. With a dictionary, you can find out the pronountiation of words and check the spelling. You can find out parts of speech and check your guesses about meaning. You can find examples of the words in sentences. In a dictionary, words and phrase (entries) appear in alphabetical order.

Synonyms

A synonym is word, with the same meaning as another word. For example, seldom and rarely are synonyms both words means “almost never”. Vocabulary tests often include multiple-choice question about synonyms. One type of multiple-choice question is a sentence with an underlined word or phrase. You read the sentence and then choose which of four words is the closest in meaning to the underlined word or phrase.

Ex : Hurricanes occur frequently in the Caribbean

1. Yearly
2. Often
3. Quickly
4. Strongly

All four choices make a meaningful sentence, but only one (b. often) keeps the meaning of the word frequently ; only often is a synonym of frequently.
