Re: It is worth reading
Here's my take:
bmo wrote:1. It is worth of reading this book.
Clumsy; technically makes no sense in English
Quote:2. It is worth reading this book.
Makes perfect sense, both informationally and grammatically - a recommendation of the book in question.
Quote:3. It is worthy of reading this book.
From a technical standpoint, grammatically correct, but conveying a somewhat improbable meaning, not at all likely the meaning you intend: Some thing or condition,
"It" in that sentence, itself has and exhibits,
"Is" in your sentence, the attribute of worthyness, or "deserving", of itself being able, entitled, deserving, or being otherwise qualified in and of itself to read "this book". Things or conditions -
"It"s, generally are not endowed with reading skills, nor are they likely to acquire or be awarded qualifications rendering them "worthy of" or "entitled to" the reading of anything. As written, the sentence says nothing of the book beyond that it exists, while saying some "
It" deserves to read that book.
Quote:4. Make effort.
5. make an effort.
6. make efforts.
A little different. Any of the above might be correct, depending on context amd stylistic application. However, number 5, as mentioned earlier, would be the most commonly encountered, and most widely applicable, most generally acceptable example.
