Greetings.
I know the following three sentences are correct:
This stop is A.
The next stop is B.
The following stop is C.
Let's call these three lines above as variant ? (1).
I know we can use "the following" after "the following", i.e. the following three sentences are correct too:
This stop is A.
The following stop is B.
The following stop is C.
Let's call these three lines above as variant ? (2).
I'd like to find out whether we can also use "the next" after "the next":
This stop is A.
The next stop is B.
The next stop is C.
Let's call these three lines above as variant ? (3).
Is (3) correct?
An example I made up for (3):
John and Bill are going by bus. The bus has stopped at the stop A.
John: What's the next stop?
Bill: B.
John: And the next? (Is "the next" correct here?)
Bill: C.
Thanks.
