What is the last book you read?
Did you say read as 'red' or 'reed' in the sentence?
For native speakers only, thanks.
Also, will it make difference to your answer exchanging 'last' with 'latest' in the sentence?
And again, for native speakers only, thanks.
Here's another little question for those who read it as 'red', do you happen to be good at maths generally speaking?
Many thanks.

I think I understand your second question: using last and latest depend on how you're using it. Latest normally refers to the most recent whereas last refers to well, last. However, they can be switched around occasionally. I hope this helped! :)

It's "red" because it's past tense.
"the latest book" would be the most recent book (a new release).

Hello, whether or not you say it as red or reed depends on the tense. Last week, I read (red) a book. However: Everyday, I read (reed) one chapter. The spelling is exactly the same, but the pronunciation changes.
As for your second question, I didn't really understand. Sorry. I hope this kind of helps.

I had two minds on this, thinking that using the latter wouldn't be too wrong (probably because of other languages I've been learning as well, I don't know). Thank you for clearing things up for me on this.
