Let's learn great!

We use it as an adjective to talk about something being very big, very important or very good.
We've seen great improvement in the last 10 years.
This is the great question of our time.
This is just a great video!

We can use it with adjectives, particularly those related to large quantities or sizes to emphasise them.

He caught a great big fish!
They have a great many properties all over the world.

Sometimes we use it as a noun, to talk about the people or things that we think are particularly important or successful.

As a singer, she's one of the greats.
He's one of the all-time greats of basketball.
You need to study the greats of literature.

So, the word great is used in different way to talk about large, important or good things – it's a great word to know!
