best-selling + noun (product, book, album, device, etc.)

用法筆記

This adjective must be placed immediately before the noun it describes. It cannot be used after a linking verb: say 'a best-selling novel,' not 'the novel is best-selling.' Use the noun 'bestseller' for predicate position instead.

常見錯誤

This novel is best-selling.
This is a best-selling novel.
best-selling must appear before the noun; use 'bestseller' after a linking verb ('This novel is a bestseller.').
The best-selling of the year is a romance.
The best-selling book of the year is a romance.
best-selling needs a noun to modify; do not use it as a standalone noun phrase.
