Hello,
A question in my test reads as follows:
A monkey is a _________ animal.
a) middle-sized b) medium-sized
I feel that a monkey is a medium-sized animal, but the options given made me think about the difference between the two. When do we use medium-sized, and when do we use middle-sized?
The Macmillan dictionary draws no distinction between the two.
middle-sized town
medium-sized sausepan
Could somebody please comment on using these adjectives?
Thank you.
