"L'éléphant est grand."

Translation: The elephant is big.

[TerenceJoh1]

I used "huge" instead of "big." Wrong. Why?

[metro00]

"huge" is "enorme".

[carlobanchon]

I think because something huge is bigger than somenhing big,

[kitkat3451]

Well that i think js because the definition isn't huge abd is big, im not sure

[Patrick991564]

Because when you use grande in a different sentence it also means a different sentence.

What is the difference between grosse and grande?

[kahkor]

large and tall

[Matheus666393]

Grosse is more often used to mean fat. Grande has many meanings, also implying fat along the way, but I guess it's more often used as tall or general big.

[kitkat3451]

Large and tall

[Violet_Wade]

When do we use grande and when do we use grand?

[baseline08]

Grand is for masculine nouns ("le" or "un") and grande is for feminine ("la" or "une"). Its called adjectival agreement. We have to make sure our adjectives match our nouns

[dinkarinjosh]

I heard le livre est grand. Very difficult to distinguish. any help is appreciated.
Also why is the 't' silent in the end in elephant? When it is followed by a vowel, it would have been easier had they pronounced the 't'.

[avazquez02]

Why do i always say "est" and get it 'wrong'

[sash383885]

By the way, how is 'grand' and 'grande' pronounced?

[nbemike]

"gran" / "grand"
You don't pronounce that last consonant generally unless it's followed by a noun.
