English Grammar "High versus Tall"

I personally think that tallest sounds better than highest but both are acceptable.

Are you talking about the peak point of a bridge's structure, or about the part of a bridge that people travel along?

In either case, an adequate sentence could probably be constructed for both words.

Build a bridge on Everest and it will be high. Might not be tall.

Tall would refer to the vertical size of the structural supports.


High would refer to the placement of the bridge high in the air, for instance over a gorge.

Good answer.

A tall building. A high bridge.
