adjective

Hello,

1. He is taller than all the boys in his class.

I have to correct it. There may be many correct version. But I want to know

a. He is taller than any other boy in his class.
b. He is taller than any other boys in his class.

My doubt is -

Shall I use "any other boy" or "any other boys". What may be the reason.

Thanks.
