Which sentences are better?

1-) This is the bus stop closest to your house

OR

This is the closest bus stop to your house.

2-) It is a book different to mine

OR

It is a different book to mine.

3-) There are people sad about the exam

OR

There are sad people about the exam.

I think that first one is incorrect for third example. And If it is incorrect, first one must be incorect for second example. But I see “... different to ..” most of the time.

What are your thoughts?

1. Both examples are okay.


2. Neither example is correct. They both would be okay if "from mine" is used instead of "to mine."


3. The first example is technically correct grammatically, but awkward usage. It would be better as: "There are people anxious about the exam." The second example is not right. The sequence, "There are ______ people about the exam." is no
