Hi. Let's say someone has a book that describes a certain thing and the book has pictures of the thing as well as describing the thing in words. Now, can we say these about what has been said?
"He has a book with pictures inside." "He has a book that has pictures inside."
Do we need the pronoun "it" after the word "inside"? Thank you in advance for your help.
"He has a book with pictures inside it." "He has a book that has pictures inside it."
Top answer
You can say, correctly, all four sentences. But why not: He has a book with pictures. Or: There are pictures in his book.
