Yes, gan1 is the correct tone for the meaning "dry" when pronounced "gan4" is means "to do". "Dry" is the radical meaning - the meaning that this character takes when used a s a building block in more complex characters, hence it is this meaning that is taught first. The other meaning and pronunciation is entered as a separate item http://www.memrise.com/item/61... Hope that helps!Ben
