adjective

Post by hanuman_2000 »

Please correct the following sentences.



This is the best book in the library.

I have to covert this sentence into comparative degree.

Shall I write it like-----

1. This book is better than any other book in the library.
2. This is better than any other book in the library.

My doubt is, Shall I write only "This" or "This book".

Rohit is the best boy in the class.

Shall I write it as....

Rohit is better boy than any other boy in the class.



Thanks .
