With which adjective is it natural to use the words screen, car/vehicle, table? High or tall? I already know that when something is high off the ground, it has great distance between itself and the ground. Tall is used for people or things which are higher than they are wide,e.g. a tower. High is used when something is wider then it is high. But native speakers don't adhere to this rule so I think it's just an oversimplified explanation of how these two adjectives can be distinguished. Here are the sentences: The vehicle is too high/tall. Getting in it isn't super easy because you kind of have to climb. Take the kid off the table! The table is high/tall and he could get injured if he falls off it. Thanks to the wide and high/tall screen of the TV, you can enjoy your TV without having to sit close to the screen. A bus is usually twelve feet tall/high. (Might not be factual) Her desk at work is too high/tall for her. The table is 3 feet tall/high.
