Worth, worthwhile, worthy

[Ju]

"Worth", "worthwhile" and "worthy" are adjectives.

1. What are the differences in usages?
2. "It's not worthwhile for you to wait any longer."
Can I replace "worthwhile" with "worth" and "worthy?

Thanks.

You could say , 'It's not worth you waiting any longer.' 'worthy' doesn't work there. Look here for a definition of 'worthy' as an adjective: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/worthy_1

Search for them on fraze.it, and post back if you're still unsure.

You can use "worth it" instead of "worthwhile" in that sentence. You cannot substitute "worthy"; it means something else.

I found a lot of sentences in fraze.it, thank you. There's a sentence I would like to clarify as follows.

"The more-than-1000 page report, taking 21 years to complete, is worthy of study."

Can I say "is worth studying"?

Thanks.
