The other day, I was talking with one of my Turkish students. She looked at me and said, “You’re so long!”
For a moment I was confused—then I realized she meant to say “You’re so tall!”

In English, when we talk about height, we use tall and short:

She is tall.
He is short.

Mistakes like this are completely normal when you’re learning English. The key is to notice them, laugh a little, and keep going!

Let’s practice! Here are a few more simple sentences using I, you, he, she, we, and they:

I am happy.
You are kind.
He is tall.
She is short.
We are friends.
They are tired.
I am strong.
You are funny.
He is smart.
She is young.
We are ready.
They are busy.
