What is wrong with my sentence? I was studying and the answer in the text book was "In 1782 King George III appointed William Pitt prime minister of Great Britain." I wrote "In 1782, King George III appointed William Pitt as the prime minister of Great Britain." I'm not sure why I can't have comma after the year, and why "as the" should not be in the sentence.
