Do dictionaries indicate whether a verb should be used with -て + いる form?


Some verbs are commonly used in the -て + いる form. For example, "住んでいる" or
"知っている". Do dictionaries typically indicate that they're used that way?

[jisho.org](http://jisho.org/word/%E7%9F%A5%E3%82%8B) (which is sometimes
described as being a mile wide, but an inch deep) doesn't seem to, and it
seems [weblio](http://ejje.weblio.jp/content/%E4%BD%8F%E3%82%80) sometimes
doesn't.




Not ever in my experience. ～ている is actually a grammar point, which explains
why it wouldn't be in a dictionary for looking up vocabulary words. Yeah, the
chances of you using 知る or 住む are rare, but the dictionary assumes you just
want to know the word and already know how to use it. Often, this isn't the
case, but that's why you study outside of dictionaries, haha.

I hope this makes sense... I have a habit of misunderstanding questions.
