Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Lesson 329. The title of today's lesson

is \" Say a Large Amount Not a Big Amount or a High Amount. \" So especially when

現在進行式

you're using amounts , most of the time we should be saying a large amount of

something. So let's take a look at a few examples here. Again, with the X. This is

wrong. They made a big amount of errors.  Yeah. Even a westerner would say... you know

he would understand this,  but this does sound a little off. We don't usually say

a big amount of errors. We'd almost always say a large amount of errors. So

All right. So it's the first example.  Example number two. That dessert contains

a high amount of sugar. All right. Really, I could  almost hear Westerners say this,  but you

would definitely understand it. But really a large amount is really the

proper one here. So that dessert contains a large amount of sugar. We should really

be using large with amount. Now of course it could be rephrased

another way too. We can say that dessert has a high sugar content and you could

use high that way.  Sure,  or number three here. Again with the

X. This is wrong. He made a big amount of money from investing in crypto

currencies. Yeah. It's not quite right.  Again the correct and the more proper

way would be he made a large amount of money from investing in crypto

currencies. Anyway, I hope you got it.  I hope it's clear. Thank you for your time.
