big
building’, you can say ‘a colossal building’. Instead of ‘a big
amount of money’, say ‘an enormous
amount of money’. In this lesson, I’ll teach you many different words in English that mean big
. Learning synonyms for common English words is a great way to make your English more interesting. Watch this video to learn words you can use instead of big
. Then, see how well you can spell these words in my quiz!

It was a so useful vocab. lesson for me…
Thanks Alex
I am waiting for lesson that I had to be thaught about passive verbs in all tenses
Yep!!! You’re right, it is useful to learn synonyms. As Alex put it, they make our English sound more interesting.

That’s right. I wanted to add some spice to your vocab.
Thank You a lot !
I’ve seen a lot of usages of the word “massive” in American movies.
Yep! It’s a very common synonym. “I have a massive headache.” “We have a massive problem.” “His arms are massive!”

Doing this quiz was a TITANIC task for me because I am not good at spelling; to improve this skill, it’ll take me a lot of doing.
By the way, I am NOT dyslexic.

My students love to watch movies and series. There’s a lot of ” figure out ” in them, could you help me figure out how to make them understand the differents figure outs that there is. Thanks
hey teacher, thanks for the lesson!
Can I use “great” as a synonymous for “big”? or should I use another word? I’m not sure if both words means the same.
Sorry for my broken english!
greetings from Brazil!
That’s okay.
“Great” is not typically used as a synonym for “big,” but it can have a similar meaning to “grand.” Both words imply some form of spectacle and…grandiosity? Which does imply largeness.
Sorry for the vague answer here!
Good lesson teacher!
this is the things i need. thank you very much, Alex
thanks
thank you Alex
Thank you teacher Alex! :)
Hi, Alex I’d like you makes a vídeo about the diferences among a long way,a long away and far away
thank you so much!!!
may you explain to me how to use “keep” in below construction. i’m really so confused when we should use ” keep + object + adj”, “keep + object + present participle” and ” keep + object + past participle”.
i read them a lot but i don’t understand how to use the in a particular situation.
+++ keep + object + adjective.
(The adjective describes the state or quality of the object.)
EX: You have to keep the food fresh.
+++ keep +object +present participle
(The object functions as the object of the present participle.)
EX:We are very sorry to have kept you waiting.
+++ keep + object + past participle
The object functions as the object of the past participle
EX:The purpose of this report is to make it easier for your service department to keep us informed of product problems.
I’m looking forward to responding soon. :)

Hello,Alex
I’m so please to visit this site again.
I have again some other question which I hope you could answer them well
What is the deference between linguistic competence and linguistic performance?
What is the distinction between descriptive and prescriptive grammar?
What is the distinction between constitutive and regulative rules in English?
As I told you before I’m an English teacher. I always use your classes with my students. You are really a great teacher and I get enormous help from you. Thanks a lot.
That’s flattering. Thanks for spreading the word!
Thanks!we have got a huge learning from you

Another great lesson on EngVid, thank you very much. What about making a lesson on obesity? Idioms, phrasal verbs, vocabulary etc. It is a huge today’s problem.
Thank you, Alex. Although the vocabularies too many to remember, I will do my best to remember.

perfect thanks Alex .,you don.t have a replacement in teaching English .
Alex,thank you so much :)
By the way,can you please explain the meaning of phrase “Here we go”?
Here we go is an expression we use when we want to prepare ourselves for something. For example, you are jumping out of the plane with a parachute, and just before you jump you say – Here we go! It indicates an iminant action.
Thanks allot.
thank you very much, you are a hulking teacher.

Hi, Alex! Thank you for this lesson. It’s really useful.
But I have a question… Is there any inequality in the words like these if we use them in different situations?
(As in Russian we often cann’t use them this way. Different word have their small lexical undertone.)
Thanks Alex I’m improving my English everyday!!!
Tomorrow i have exam. I hope that help me .
Thank you Mr.Alex. It’s really good lessons. Good job.
