I think it is right to say , " The building is tall." , " There are lots of high-rise buildings in the city" The only expression I can think of using "high" to describe a person is "high and mighty"
Sir, I am learning english as second language , Can i know which dictionary would be easier for me to follow ,Currently i am using Longmans contemporary english dictionary , But you gave some reference from oxford dictionary .So which one do you recommend me , Shall i buy oxford dictionary ?
@urbanruler Longmans is a good dictionary and I have it myself. The Holy Grail of British English dictionaries is the complete Oxford English Dictionary in 20 volumes, but it cost me over €300 on CD, but it's too much for a student. Any modern dictionary from Collins, Oxford, Longmans, McMillan, etc. will more than serve your needs. I recommend a mono-lingual dictionary - that is in English only - for students of upper-intermediate or higher level.
Thank you so much Richard for this video, and for responding so quickly! I've always had problems explaining this to my students. BTW you really made me laugh in the beginning, yup, my surname's got a sound 'ś' and a consonant cluster 'ck' which are both a bit difficult for foreign speakers.
good job!

I realized that your daily dose of English is the best means of building my English vocabulary. So many words in such a short video. :-)
Thank you so much and good luck for your new daily doses of English :)

Hahahahhahh cool, I'll tell someone this joke (or was that for real ?).
By the way, I used to listen to Cypress Hills and one of his most famous rap is called "I wanna get high", dope track I must say, hehehehehe.

@Sk8orNoJESUSorDie It was for real, though it was also a joke I made at the time.
