Wouldn't "died" be translated as muerto or murió? Technically it is a conjugation of morir, and so you wouldn't find it in the dictionary. ie. Juan ha muerto. Juan has died. Juan murió. Juan died.

I agree, however, that you should be able to look up a conjugated verb and still find it in the dictionary.

We do have this function for Spanish verbs!

Look up vengo, you will be directed to the verb venir.

Look what you get on WR, one of the most advanced dictionaries I know, you do not get the conjugated form of die, only threads with the verb/participle in them, like on our site.

If you look up the infinitive form of the verb, you'll get the translation. Look up "die".

I agree, however, that you should be able to look up a conjugated verb and still find it in the dictionary. Sometimes the conjugated form doesn't look at all like the infinitive ("am" doesn't look at all like "be"), so if you're learning the language, the conjugated form may be all you have.

Other conjugated verbs do work in this dictionary.
