I translated this sentence as "My father is a great man." Duolingo marked it wrong saying that I missed "My father is a large man." In Spanish when "grande" comes before "hombre" it means "great" but when it comes after "hombre" it means "big" or "large". I assumed that it would be the same in Portuguese.
