Size adjectives are words that describe how big or small something is. They help us understand the dimensions of objects, people, and places. Using size adjectives effectively can make your writing more vivid and engaging. For example, instead of just saying 'a house', you can say 'a huge house' or 'a tiny house' to give the reader a clearer picture.
