#3 Large v.s. Big

When it comes to depart with "big" and "large", it's difficult for us who using the Chinese dictionary to explain. However, there is some rule whenever we use this two words.
"Big" is often talked about the greatful of a thing or an abstract situation, such as a big conference, a big festival or a big pig something like that.
"Large" is used to describe the amount or quantity of something like money or other objects, and it'll be quite concreted and countable for instance. For example, they can be a large expenditures, a large sedan and a large waterfall. In addition, "large" may be much formaller than "big".

  1. Good try, but your rules aren't quite right. For example, big is often used for "concreate" concept, not for abstract one.
