Usage Note :

Large, big, and great are all used to talk about size. In general, large is more formal than big, and great is more formal than large. Large and big are normally used to describe objects, but you can also use big to suggest that something is important or impressive. ...his influence over the big advertisers. You normally use great to emphasize the importance of someone or something. ...the great English architect, Inigo Jones. However, you can also use great to suggest that something is impressive because of its size. The great bird of prey was a dark smudge against the sun. You can use large or great, but not big, to describe amounts. ...a large amount of blood on the floor. ...the coming of tourists in great numbers. Both big and great can be used to emphasize the intensity of something, although great is more formal. It gives me great pleasure to welcome you... Most of them act like big fools.
