- Should I say a question is very long or large or big or huge?
Big and large are roughly equal (I would rate big as slightly bigger, but this is largely a matter of opinion), and huge is significantly larger than either of the other two Since you want to describe the length of the content of the question, long is the unambiguous choice, but you can call it big , large or huge if you want
- bigger vs. more big - English Language Learners Stack Exchange
But the basic, teachable, and, in an EFL ESL context, extremely relevant reason that bigger is correct, and more big is ungrammatical as a comparative adjective is because those rules have not been observed The rules for forming comparative adjectives are fairly straightforward: (1) for one-syllable adjectives, add -er, (2) for two-syllable
- What is the difference between largest and biggest?
Also, big can mean important It is a big decision He is a big person in the field Another case where they are not interchangeable, is when discussing the size of a product and in particular food and clothing You can order a small or large drink, but you can't order a big drink (unless the drink actually is notably big)
- word order - that a big deal or that big a deal? - English Language . . .
I always believed ‘that a big deal’ to be correct until I watched this episode of 'Friends' series where It's not that big a deal was used so frequently, I am now beginning to doubt my belief that not that a big deal is grammatically correct So, which one is grammatically correct? it's not that a big deal ; it's not that big a deal
- word meaning - huge or large. Which one should I use? - English . . .
That said, adjectives describing size are relative, and context-dependent How big is huge? That depends A large tumor might be just 4 or 5 cm across, and a huge tumor might be 12 or 13 cm across As far as machinery goes, large machines are too heavy to lift Huge machines are too heavy to even think about lifting
- Which can be used before distance among much large long huge big?
And I wonder what kinds of modifiers can also come before "distance" instead of "much" in that expression Like among large long huge big etc If you add some explanation why, then it would be what I will be even greatly more grateful for Thank you
- grammar - Confusion about the use of quite in quite a bit, quite a . . .
"Quite a bit" and "quite a lot" do mean the same thing The difference is that "quite a bit" uses "a bit" ironically (saying the opposite of the truth) or in understatement (saying something is less in number or importance than it actually is), while "quite a lot" is literal
- Is labeling a numerical quantity high, as opposed to large . . .
As outlined in another answer, the use of high and low, or large and small, are conventions There are however many situations where height and size are closely linked in such a way that if an object is big it is also high, so the link between the two conventions is understandable and natural
- word request - How to call a book with a lot of pages? - English . . .
Big book: refers more to the size (width and height) rather than the thickness, such as many coffee table books or Art Museum books A second meaning of "big book" has to do with the coverage of the subject: "Big book of < subject >" implies that it offers everything we want to know about the subject
- What do you call the two different styles of television?
For the older style of television (the big one), I usually use the colloquialism "box TX" I also use CRT to describe the type of image projection device a TV uses, but I suppose "CRT TV" and "old-style television" work For the modern TV, I use the term "flat-screen TV"
