 Re: look up a/ the dictionary
Hi there,
In Cambridge Dictionary, there is an explanation on 'look something up'
look sth up (INFORMATION) phrasal verb [M]
to try to find a piece of information by looking in a book or on a computer:
If you don't know what the word means, look it up in a dictionary.
So the object of 'look up' should be the 'word' or 'information', but not the dictionary.
