There are lots of idioms related to the word “size” in English. Size means, of course, how big or small something is.
In this video, I explain the different ways of using the following four popular idioms:
- To size (someone/something) up
- To try (something) on for size
- To pick on someone your own size
- To come in all shapes and sizes
Learn more about how you can “size someone up” in our Daily English lesson 898 – People of Different Ages.
For more vocabulary related to shapes and sizes, see our Daily English 766 – Describing Shapes and Sizes.
