Hi Touba. Yes, we can. Thanks for chipping in.

Bawakawa, you could refer to it that way, but more commonly we would still say 'high'. The Empire State building is 103 stories high, and the Pentagon is 5 stories high. - Jay

@@SimpleEnglishVideos 5 stories high but 20 mt tall? Is there a difference if I use a measure unit instead of a building unit?

see my reply above. - Jay

That's great Hanh!

Hi Freedom Happy. Yes, buy and purchase mean the same thing, but purchase is much more formal. In everyday conversation buy is more common.

Simple English Videos thank you very much for your answer now I get it : buy is common but purchase is more formal.I would like you to make video about it to explain more .love your teaching it worthful to watch .it helps me to improve my English a lot.thank again.

So glad you liked it Steffi. Using tall to talk about the height of a person is an important one, so it's good you knew that. I have no idea if this link will work, but it should take you to a google page that will show you how often people search for 'How tall is the Eiffel tower' as opposed to 'How high is the Eiffel tower'. You'll see that how tall is much more common. trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=US&q=how%20high%20is%20the%20eiffel%20tower,how%20tall%20is%20the%20eiffel%20tower When it comes to the Berlin wall though, people would be more likely to ask how tall it is, because they don't really care about it's width. They'd think of width in terms of length, so they'd probably ask 'how long is the Berlin wall?'

Wow... Language really depends on the context! Thank you for sharing the link! I also like the Ngram Viewer you have mentioned in another video 😍 Thank you so much for your reply 💕

Delighted you like it Javi Fontalva

No problem DSq. I think I might be able to delete the others. And thanks for your question.

+How To Teach English Congrats on your video - I loved the creativity. I was puzzled by a statement in your video though. You said "In order for something to be high it has to have no contact with the ground'. But we have high heels, high walls, high hedges etc.

+Simple English Videos Ah but think about it. Where is your heel when wearing such shoes? They are high off the ground. We call them 'High Heel Shoes' because they make your heels high; it's not that the stiletto heel is high. When we talk about a high wall or hedge it is too far off the ground for us to get over. We can also talk about a tall wall and a tall hedge. The top of those may, also, be too high for us to get over, but the wall and hedge have contact with the ground to be tall. Think about the top of Mount Everest in my video. This is why we talk about tall trees. A high tree would be one on top of a hill (we're standing on the bottom of the hill) In all of these 'high' examples, we are stating that there is some distance between the ground (or other base) and the object (or person). High = no contact with a base. Tall = contact with a base. :) Now, about your comment "When something is higher than it's wide we say tall"? Sorry, I forgot to add: I DO like your videos. I have seen a lot of them and the idea behind them has inspired me with mine, so I appreciate your comment about my creativity (take some of the credit, please)

+How To Teach English i think that we can say both of "high" or"tall" that depend on location of them and their length compare to their width.
