This paper focuses on the dictionary-grammar relation and explains why students should consults to dictionaries to learn about grammatical information especially on the basis of Turkish pronouns. To this end, the number of pronouns in Turkish Dictionary and grammar books was compared and found that dictionaries are far more superior to grammar books in terms of providing detailed grammatical content.
