General terms and specific terms are not opposites, as abstract and concrete terms are; instead, they are the different ends of a range of terms. General terms refer to groups; specific terms refer to individualsâbut there's room in between. Let's look at an example.
For medium-size dog breeds, considered a whelping box that is about 28 to 34 inches long by 28 to 34 inches deep. Large dog breeds need whelping boxes that measure about 42 to 45 inches long by 34 to 40 inches deep.
A medium sized box can fit up to 30 to 40 envelopes and measures at 11 x 5.5 x 14.75. A large box can fit close to two and half shoe boxes and measures at 11 x 11 x 14.75. The largest box, an extra large box, can fit five or more shoe boxes and measures at 22.5 x 12 x 14.75.
