The 6th book

Open Forum in English
1

I saw the answers some people posted are like the following, but I don’t quite understand it.

a) Because the series of book has totally only 8 books. The 6th book opposite set.

Question: Do you use “opposite set”? What is that?

b) Actually the 9th is the 6th’s turning.

Question: Is it okay to use “turning” in this way?

c) The 6th turned upside down and followed to the end.

Question: I can use “follow to the end” like this, right?

What I want to say is, “the 6th is upside down at the end”, not sure if it is okay.

Thank you!!!

a), b) and c) statements are weird English.
You could say, “The sixth [6th] book is upside down at the end”
I would be more specific and say, “The 9th book is actually the missing 6th book, upside down”

a) Because the series of book has totally only 8 books. The 6th book opposite set.

first sentence is ungrammatical. “the series has eight books in total.” Never use “totally” this way.

the second sentence is gibberish. without the picture I would have no idea what “opposite set” was supposed to mean.

“Actually the 9th is the 6th’s turning.”

gibberish. Only by looking at the picture can I understand what this mean.
“Actually the so-called “9th book” is the upside down 6th book.”

"The 6th turned upside down and followed to the end. "

Unless the book is capable of moving itself, you need to use the passive voice.

“the 6th book was turned upside down and moved to the end of the row of books.”

Follow generally needs an object. Who is it following?
