6 confusing words – small & little, big & large, tall & high

Good video to clarify more the use of these words,they always confused me.

grazisil13

I have done the exercise . and that was not bad . thanks teache Adam . you doing good job : ) see you later

Edio Oliveira

Gee!!! I had to watch this video twice.

You need to be able to notice the subtle nuances of meaning of each word in order to get all quiz items right?

Do you all agree? I´m open to suggestions guys.

Thanks again Mr. Benn for all these great Video lessons.

P.S. I learned a new word today “Nuance”.

Regino

Oh, Gosh!!! Making mistakes as usuall . . .

Correction: “You need to be able to NOTE the subtle differences IN meaning of each word . . .”

Regino

hahaha no problem Regino, in italian we use to say: Sbagliando s’impara… ( it means: By Trials and errors you learn) However , I think that “usuall” is spelled “usual” :))
I do lots of errors too. So I decided to watch all the “Beginners ” videos so I can refresh my English ,( I’m sure that I’ve made some errors as well… let me know…:)) )

Perlamar

Tall and High: As I understood Tall is used for objects that were in a certain way “growth by an action ” A building is, let me use this term, “growth” by people who construct the building, but a mountain is not “growth” by anything, it’s been there forever . So Tall implicates the reuslt of an action and it’s mostly used for physical objects. High is suitable to refer to abstracts ideas. (I know I made some mistakes, so feel free to correct
them)

Perlamar

Great quiz, Adam! We can learn English and general knowledge; “The Dead Sea is the lowest place on Earth.” I didn’t know this! ;-)
Best Regards from Brazil

Gustavo

High and Tall is the most confusing part of it.

Yazeed Alsahafi

I also agree with her

ramoncarrasco

Hi Adam,
As always your lesson is very interested and clear. But what do you mean by “don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel”?
What is the objective?
How to do that?
Sure I will do so if it is a promotion for you.
Kind regards.
Jean-Paul

jpfromparis

Hi Jean-Paul,

Subscribing just lets you know when a new video is up by sending you an email. If you go to the Youtube site and see my vid there, you can subscribe in the upper right hand corner by clicking ‘subscribe’.

thanks :)

Adam

I got 7/10. I had tough luck.Well I think in this lesson is the word “context” is the proper word which tells where to use which word.In general meaning is same ,but we should use according to context.
Sir I want to know how to remove public
speaking fear .I’m on high that I would get reply from you.I tried a lot ,but I am unable to through it out from my mind.I removed a little bit ,but I want to completely through it out.

rajpal90

5. When are you going to _______ the dishes? The kitchen looks so messy!
1.make
2.do
why answer is 2 i e Do ,could you explain by taking lec on dishes and kitchen terminology<I'll be very Thankful to you if do so.

rajpal90

Hi Rajpa,

First, make or do depends on what comes after. It’s mostly a question of remembering. I’ll try to make a kitchen lesson.

As for public speaking, the only way to get rid of fear is by doing it as often as you can. Remember also that the wort thing anyone can do is laugh at you, and in the big picture of life, that isn’t so bad.
:)

Adam

Thank you sir,now i think i could be a good speaker .Once again Thanks a lot for your motivation.

rajpal90

Thank you!

7 out of 10…My mistakes were about tall and high…I thought we should use “high” with buidings, trees and things in general… And “tall” just for people! This lesson confused me a litttle…

Janilza

9out of 10.Thanks for the great lesson

shihoflower

hello Adam i’m glad to share you again at that lesson so i got a LITTLE difficulities to answer about questions it’s the HIGHER level but LARGE hervest of benefits thanks teacher have good time …

samirpro

Thanks you for the lesson, But I have a little confuse : why somebody said ” high buiding not tall buiding ?”

thanh.hoa.k05

Hi Thanh,

Many people might use both, but if you want to use only one, use tall for buildings.

Hope that helps.

Adam

Thank you

Kollet Oumar

The explanation of “high mountain” is really clear! The mountain is sitting there!

heleneye

I’ve got 9 /10 but it was a very usuful lesson . for me I really was confused and I could not see the deferences but now thanx to you sir I know how to use them .
Thank you

Nadia Alkola

Maybe I’m wrong but I thought that it’s correctly to say my ‘elder’ brother instead of ‘older’.Please explain

y3nx

Hi Y3nx,

It is correct to say elder but it is a little old fashioned. Many people don’t use this word anymore. I like it, so I use it, but it’s a personal choice.

Adam

Thank you..

Noha

Could you tell me a difference between hard and difficult? It is possible to use them interchangeably?

namur

Hi Namur,

Technically we use hard to describe something that is not soft. Difficult is something that is not easy.

Many people do use hard in place of difficult and it is acceptable, but technically difficult is more correct. “This is a really difficult math problem.” “The bread was too hard to eat.”

Does that help?

Adam

Thanks a lot Adam, was a very helpfull class.

Arthur Unti Ferrer

Excellent! I do like your classes. I was wondering if you talk about collective nouns and the verb usage. I still confuse when I should say “My family is” or “my family are”…
Could you please help me?! Thank you very much!

marciamqs

1. My family are coming for Easter. 2. My family consists of three people. The first sentence stresses single members of family and in the second sentence family is treated as one body. Another example could be: The police are looking for the burglar. The police is more reliable recently.

dako

Hi Marcia,

If you are talking about the group (collective) as one unit than the unit is singular, but if you talk about the individuals in the unit, then it is plural.

The staff are expected to adhere to the rules of service laid out by the company.- means everybody

The staff is going to be recruited by the president only.-all the staff

but this is a good question. I will make a lesson about it.

Adam

you should do it , i am waiting for this lesson .

chandrapriya

thank you sir.

ricart100

I could not get why it sould be “a little tarantuna” intstead of “a small tarantuna” ??Thanks

drkoray

Hi Drkoray,

If the tarantula is cute, we think of it as little. If its size is small, then we say small.

Does that help?

Adam

it is right . i face same difficulty and now i find my solution .thanks Adam.

chandrapriya

thanks teach !

edson chagas

Hello Adam:

I would like to ask you following question please if you can help about conditional:

What is the differnce between:

If I had’t paid my rent, I would have had to move to the hotel. ( one action in past causing another necessary or urgent possible action (past necessity)

If I had won the last weekend lottery, I would have paid all my loan. ( past conditional but not past necessity)

Could you explain please,

Thanks

Rob.

Rob788

Hi Rob,

If I had’t paid my rent, I would have had to move to the hotel.(means that you did pay the rest so didn’t have to move)

If I had won the last weekend lottery, I would have paid all my loan (means you didn’t win so still have a debt.

Past conditional is about past events that can’t be changed.

Does this help?

Adam

I got 9/10. It was a very helpful lesson especially when you talking about tall/high. Thank you :)

ezzarguy

oh i got 7 points out of 10. but its really good :)

sun8

Well~ I got 8 correct out of amount. :) This lesson is very useful specially for non-native English speaker like me. I always heard when someone talking about money and they used the word “big” to describe large money. I know which one is better to use after this lesson. Thanks~ Another question is, can I say huge money?? And what is the difference between huge money and large money? Personally what I understand is, huge money is like a million, but large can be like hundred, am I right?

ゞ(≧▽≦*)o

Hi Bian,

It’s a matter of perspective. f a house costs $10 million and you’re Bill gates, it’s small change. But, if you’re an English teacher, it’s huge money.

Adam

Thanks very much!!! :p

ゞ(≧▽≦*)o

Hi Adam I usually use the word “high” to talking about buildings, sounds a litlle strange for me to use “tall”, that’s why I did many mistakes on a quiz.

Sirlei Barbosa

Thank you Mr.Adam, it was helpful,but in some context it’s really confusing!

doudi

8/10 Thank you so much for all your videos. Those are very helpful . :D

victorort

Hello Adam, thanks for your lessons!
Frankly I don’t agree with your question no. 5, because the correct answer is depend on what you want to say.
If you choose “little ” it means that you don’t believe.
If you choose “small ” it means that you believe but chance is not good (big).
Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Cheh

Cheh, personally i think that reason isn’t a physical object, so it’s like in a case with “high season/price/cost”. Of course, we can count reasons but we can’t measure them, at least if we’re talking about dimensions. Let’s see what Adam will answer us))

natie2051

Adam, could you explain the fourth question in your quiz – The forests along Canada’s west coast have some of the ____________ trees in the world.
The right answer is “the tallest”. Why is it so? I would choose – the highest. You gave us an example of a “sitting” mountain and i think that trees and forests aren’t standing (i mean people ddin’t plant them, especially along the coast). If they are, it means that a mountain stands as well. What do you think about this?
Thanks for your very useful video!

natie2051

Hi Natie, first of all, let me tell you that you explained yourself clearly.

Once I was told by a native English teacher that when you talk about buildings or trees you should use the adjective “Tall”. But if you talk about mountains or peaks the adjective is “High”.

Hope it helps.

All the best.

P.S. I didn’t know you were an English teacher until I read your profile. That’s great!

As language teachers put it, “your performance in the target language is quite good”.

Regino

Tom collects spiders. He has a ________ tarantula in a glass aquarium.

Which highlighted word in the sentence would suggest that the tarantula is “cute”?
little
small
Here you said that little is correct(I have chosen small considering that there was one spider:)) I cannot understand the connection between cute and little:( p.s.: Thank you very much for such useful lessons!

ladyjoy

got 70% :(

jijoue

I can use the right one most of the time. I just have a question.

“A small tarantula” and “a little tarantula” are both correct, but the differences are similar to “a small man” and “a little man”, am I right?

E.i You are my little boy (it sounds cute)
You are a small boy. (His stature is short)

Thank you very much Adam. I’d appreciate your feedback. =)

I’d like to ask that how a city can be high, I mean it’s been built, right? And it is standing so, It should be tall, why it is high

Noley

“There is ____________ reason to believe that your application will be declined.”
Whatever the answer is, isn’t it correct to say: “There is a ____________ reason…”? If I’m wrong, please explain. Thanks for the lesson.

Khaled Taha

Hello, Adam! Your videos are very helpful. I watch them with big pleasure, you are interesting person, and thank you for your clearly pronounciation))So, I have a question. In the test the last expression says “Lhasa, a city in Tibet, is one of the _________ cities in the world.” – how can the city be highest or tallest? I’m confused)Thank you)

Alexys

When we talk about “high” or “low” locations it usually means how far they are above sea level. Much of the Netherlands is so low-lying, they need dams to keep the sea from flooding in. But Lhasa is over three kilometres above sea level! Hence, one of the highest cities in the world.

“Tallest city” is not a common usage, but could describe the city with the most skyscrapers (probably New York), or the city with the tallest building (Dubai).

engVid Moderator

I see, thank you! I thought about the location and sea level, but in my language we don’t say so, that’s why I made a mistake in the answer) I’ll do my best )

Alexys

7/10 i need more practice :(

pinoyenglish

Many thanks adam . You are always a great teacher and everything with you is clear :)

aboood1994

What you need is to go over the lesson and take the quiz again, that’s all.

Hope you follow my advice.

All the best, for ever young.

Thank you Adam. Your lessons are great! Bravo!

Perlamar

Thanks for your feedback Perlamar.

You’re right, most of the times we learn by TRIAL and error -of course by MAKING mistakes/errors- and it is a good approach.

…a mountain is not GROWN by anyone, it’s been there forever.

Growth— it’s a noun

Grow— it’s a verb

Hope it helps, regards.

Regino

Very good lesson. Before this lesson I couldn’t understand the difference between “big” and “large” or “tall” and “high”. I actually thought they’re synonyms of course, but they’re interchangeable and means almost the same thing.
Thank you, Adam.

ElsaFrost

I find this really useful. But the important thing is how can I remember each situation to put the right word in!!

what wicked means

romysa samy

The regular meaning of “wicked” is “evil”, like a witch, or like the “bad guy” in superhero and fantasy movies. The slang meaning of “wicked” is the opposite—it means “cool” or “impressive”. A really cool skateboard trick is “wicked”.

In some dialects, it is used as an intensifier like “really” or “extremely”. Something that’s very good is “wicked good”.

Lee jin woo

So did i, yet be such a fool as well.

Costakon

Hello! Unfortunately, I didnt understand, why the correct answer for the last question is “high”. I answered correctly all questions, except for this one.
The city is built by people, the same as buildings, so it should be “tall”, as you explained us.
Thank you for your answer.

Svetlana Samorguina

Thanks a lot.
