§Structures (grammar patterns) 4
it is easy + to-infinitive
The adjective easy describes the task, so the natural order is 'It is easy to do sth' or 'sth is easy to do'. The infinitive after easy is active in meaning even though the subject is the thing done.
'Easy' काम का वर्णन करता है, इसलिए स्वाभाविक क्रम 'It is easy to do sth' या 'sth is easy to do' है। दूसरे रूप में subject वह वस्तु होती है जिस पर काम किया जाता है, फिर भी infinitive active रूप में रहता है।
- It is easy to learn the days of the week.
