My Biggest Pet Peeve - Height, Weight, Width, Length
Okay, so these words are nouns - height, weight, width, length.
You say, “What is the height of the entertainment center?”
You do not say, “What is the heighth of the entertainment center?”
It is such a common mistake, even for highly educated American people, and I think people get confused because width and length end in “th”.
On the TOEFL, they like to test you on whether you should use the noun or the verb or the adjective form.
All of the following questions are correct:
How high is the table? How tall are you? How much do you weigh? What is your weight? What is the width of the table? What is the length of the table?
If there is an article - “the” - or a possessive pronoun - “your” - you know you need the noun form.
