Medidas de longitud y peso (Length and weight measures)

Let´s start with a short dialogue: 

Mary: Hi Nancy. How is everything? 
Nancy: Not too bad. By the way, how much does that meat package weigh?
Mary: Let me see. It is about five kilograms.
Nancy: Ok. I need a gallon of milk too. Can you tell me where the milk is?
Mary: Of course, it is over there. 


Adjectives 
Long
Wide
Deep
Thick
Tall
Heavy

Nouns
Length
Width
Depth
Thickness
Height
Weight

Usamos los adjetivos y sustantivos para la redacción de oraciones que hacen descripción de algo en particular. Cada objeto a ser descrito tiene una medida determinada así, la comida se mide en "Grams, Kilograms, Ounce, Pounds", para los líquidos usamos "Quart, Liter, Gallon, Pint".

Examples:
a. It is fifty meters long.
b. It is sixty centimeters in width.
c. It is sixty centimeters wide.

En el caso de las oraciones b y c tienen el mismo significado, pero nótese que al usar los sustantivos como Width usamos la preposicion "in". Veamos otro ejemplo:

The mattress is 1 meter wide.
The mettress is 1 meter in width.
