Have you checked on these in a dictionary?
When do you use "major"? As an adjective > A major accident/A major road.

Re: Pleeeeeaaaase Help me
I repeat my question - have you looked them up in a dictionary? This is a good place to start:
OneLook Dictionary Search
Big >> of considerable size, physical power, or extent
Major >> greater or more important; main
