The Golden Swan was the largest sailing-ship ever which/that be used in battle.
Hello all,
Are each of these pair sentences equivalent to each other?
According to Cambridge Grammar: We can use a to-infinitive after a superlative adjective, with a meaning similar to a relative clause with who, which or that:
1. Who was the oldest person to compete in the London Marathon of 2008?
2. Who was the oldest person who competed in the London Marathon of 2008?
3. The Golden Swan was the largest sailing-ship ever to be used in battle.
4. The Golden Swan was the largest sailing-ship ever which/that be used in battle.
