| FEET 'Feet'
is an example of a measurement for height,
length and distance. 'Feet'
is a non-metric measure,
unlike 'metres' and 'centimetres'
which are metric.
Other non-metric measures, which
we can use for distance, are: 'inches',
'yards' and 'miles'.
- It's a mile
from my house to the centre
of York, so it only takes me
20 minutes to walk there.
Other non-metric measures, which
we use for weight, are: 'ounces',
'pounds', 'stones' and 'tons'.
- I weigh fourteen
stones, seven
pounds. That's fourteen
and a half stone!
I really need to go on a diet.
