Then which one of the following sentences is better?
1)The two boys are taller than all the other boys. :tick:
2)The two boys are taller than any other boy. :tick:

1...When you have a follow-up question, don't add it to your original post. It could go unnoticed there.
2...When someone answers a question for you and you have another question, it wouldn't hurt you to say 'thank you'. Nobody here is your servant.
