A: sure, it could be further away but like maybe a couch away like 2 meters. There's almost no difference between "pass it" vs "pass it over" also these wouldn't be that nice as it a command. "pass me that" is much nicer.

“I walked past a bridge and noticed something strange. There is a big tree grown on the wall of a bridge. Since the tree is so big but the wall is so thin, it looks like it would collapse, but it’s not. Isn’t that interesting?”

Using adjectives is easier, for example the tree is described as big, so you say “big tree”. Does this help?
