Hi everyone,

What is the difference between these two sentences?

It's the most idyllic scenes.

It's the most idyllic of scenes.

Thanks
 
Hi everyone,

What is the difference between these two sentences?

It's the most idyllic scenes.

It's the most idyllic of scenes.

Thanks

The difference is that the first sentence is not grammatically correct. It should be "It is the most idyllic scene" or "They are the most idyllic scenes".

Second sentence is correct.
 
Thank you very much~

How about if I remove "It's" in these two sentences:

The most idyllic scene.

The most idyllic of scenes.

Is there any difference in meaning?
 
If you remove "It's" you don't have a sentence. "It" is the subject of the sentence and, as I'm sure you know, a subject is essential to a sentence. As for difference in meaning, see freezeframe's response. There is no other difference.
 
It is also possible to say: It's a most idyllic scene.

most
means (roughly) extremely here.
