    Default sentence correction

    Hi All,

    Please let me know if the structure of the following sentences is correct.

    'Please add the official name if it has any'
    'If this building has any official name, please add it'

    Which sentence is better?


    Thank you!

    'Please add the official name of the building if it has one.'
    'If this building has any official name, please add it.'
    'Please state the official name, if there is one.'
