When teaching English, I often come across the same words being used so often, like 'big'.
Building vocabulary makes the language so much more beautiful and interesting. I'm tired of hearing the word 'big' - I've already mentioned it twice in this post - so here are some other options, beginning with the letter "G":
- Giant
- Great
- Gigantic
- Grand
- Ginormous
- Gargantuan
And there are many more words including:
- colossal
- astronomic
- huge
- large
- enormous
- humongous
- massive
So please, go ahead and expand your vocabulary. And whatever you do, don't say 'big!'
What's your pick of these 'large' words?

Ginormous, of course!
When I was teaching writing, "BIG" was one of my "forbidden words" because I wanted students to be more specific. Too many people use "big" to describe importance rather than size.
I personally like astronomic.
