How High Is 3 Meters

• #1

Hello,

I accept a grammer question between verbes ''to be'' and ''to have'' while refering to the mesures :

This tower is three meters high
This tower has 3 meters of tiptop

This room is 3 meter wide
This room has 3 meters of width

Could you delight confirm if both forms are correct.

Many thanks
Piotr

In AE, I'd definitely use the first construction with "to be." I take heard the 2nd construction on occasion, simply information technology almost always sounds awkward to my ear.

Hello,

I take a grammar question between verbes ''to be'' and ''to take'' while refering to the mesures :

This tower is three meters high
This belfry has three meters of height (so-so--OK only unremarkably non said)

This room is 3 meter wide
This room has iii meters of width (again, and so-so--not really said)

Could you please confirm if both forms are correct.

Many thanks
Piotr

Hiya piotr
A slightly-off-topic introduction
I think in British English language, and in most of Europe, the spelling is "metre".
In near thinks in British English, a 'meter' is a device which measures things - gas, water or electricitiy existence most people's contact with the give-and-take.

On topic, I don't think we use 'to have' as a verb for measurements except for an absolute value - 'The room has a height of iii metres' is likely to sound a more authentic measure (to a listener) than 'The room is 3 metres high'.

Hi,
In addition to all said.
I call back you could also say:

The belfry is three meteres in height.

Hope it helps.

This is the merely other way I've ever heard information technology said... "3 metres of height" sounds distinctly odd.
