Well we all know what that means. He has big feet.

Cant it be "The boy's shoe is huge"?

Why not:" the boy's shoe is grand."??

What does it mean "grand" in english? If it has the same meaning as "big", then it's correct.

    No, we would definitely not say the boy's shoe is "grand", as something that is "grand" is very special. For example, a Royal Wedding would be described as a "grand occasion".

    I translated with shoes, because only one shoe being big is ridiculous?
