1. You are worthy to readthis book.

2. This book is worth while to be read.

Q: I would like to know above sentences are correct or wrong and which expression is natural in English. Thanks in advance!

 

[Skrej]

The first one is grammatical, however. It just doesn't make much sense, and certainly isn't natural.

 

[alienmet]

Thank you very much for your answers. And how about these?

I searched and found these sentences. How about these? They are all wrong too? I am really sorry about posting many sentences. But I have to solve this extremely confusing questions clearly.

It is worth while to read this book

That one would be fine if "worthwhile" were spelled as one word: "It is worthwhile to read this book."

You could separate "worth" and "while," however, in this structure: "It would be worth your while to read this book."

I prefer Piscean's "This book is worth reading" to both of those alternatives.

Interestingly, "This book is worth reading" is equivalent in meaning to "This book is worth being read."

Yes, those are certainly worth reading.

I am sorry for posting many numbers of questions in one thread. I still suffer from posting your thread. So I first have to type my questions on my vacant document and cope them and then post your thread. In addition to this, thread connection frequently delayed for a very long time and very slow.
Anyway thank you all for your kind and detailed answer.

You posted like this. "But note that only the first of Phaedrus's two sentences is natural, alienmet." What is the first sentence?

 

[jutfrank]

You posted like this. "But note that only the first of Phaedrus's two sentences is natural, alienmet." What is two sentences?

The two sentences that I've highlighted in red.

Interestingly, "This book is worth reading" is equivalent in meaning to "This book is worth being read."

 

[alienmet]

Ah, Thanks a lot. The answer is This book is worth reading

 

[Rover_KE]

Ah, thanks a lot. The answer is "This book is worth reading".

Yes — as Piscean said in post #2, five days ago.
