I was wondering whether we can swap "large" and "big" in the following example without sounding odd:
- When her husband died, she came into a large inheritance.
I think they both are correct here, but I have no idea if using "big" rather than "large" is an idiomatic combin ation here.
Big inheritance is grammatically correct but is not the habitual collocation.
