Is size adjective or what ? Can you make some sentences using sizes ?

'Size' is a noun. You added an '-s' to it, didn't you? It can also be an adjective, as in 'What size shoe do you wear?'
I have a better idea: please do a Google search for the word and then post here any good sentences you find.

Hi,
"The sizes that available on the shelf are 12,14,16."
" We have made three sizes, small/medium/large."
Hope this helps.
Thanks!

Not really, mudclay. I wish you would just let the poster do as I asked.
"The sizes that are available on the shelf are 12,14,16."
" We have made three sizes, small/medium/large."
And how do you think the underlined portions might be spoken? Do not use quoation marks for words that are obviously not in spoken form.
