Hello,

could you answer this question, please?:

Is it suitable to use the adjective "great" in this context?:  If I were rich, I would buy a great car.

Thank you                     Mowgli

Your sentence is ok, but I'm note sure if they use that adjective in that case.

 

great (GOOD)
 adjective 
INFORMAL 
very good or very effective; excellent 
We had a great time.
She has a great voice.
This stuff is great for cleaning windows.

Can 'great' denote size as well? Because I think that's what is meant in the sentence...
