Chinese Grammars.
1: Sentence description：太大了
The adverb “太” can be used in a negative construction. “不太” means “不很.....”, so “不太大” means “不很大”, and “不太忙” means “不很忙”. However, when “太” is used in an affirmative construction, such as “太大了”, “太小了” or “太忙”, it often means “too much” or “excessively”.
2: Sentence description：祝你生日快乐！
This is a familiar form of expression used to extend greetings to someone on his / her birthday. “祝 你 .....” is used to express good wishes, sometimes with the implication of “congratulating sb. in advance”, whereas “祝贺你.....” is commonly used to congratulate someone on something that is already known or has already occurred.
For example:
A: 我 下 星期 结婚。
B: 祝贺你。
A: I will get married next week.
B: Congratulations
3: Sentence description：我很喜欢吃烤鸭。
