He is a tall and big man.

Where to Place It

To talk about physical size, 'grande' almost always comes after the thing it's describing. For example, 'la casa grande' (the big house).

Always Stays the Same (for Gender)

'Grande' doesn't change for masculine or feminine things. It's 'el perro grande' (the big dog) and 'la gata grande' (the big cat).

Mixing up 'Big' and 'Long'

Mistake:El Nilo es un río muy grande.

Correction: El Nilo es un río muy largo. While the Nile is big, when you're talking about its length, 'largo' is the right word. Use 'grande' for overall size or volume.
