Adjectives with to +
infinitive
Use
• When we want to describe how we feel about an action
we can use an adjective followed by to + infinitive.
• We can also use to + infinitive when there’s a noun
after the adjective.
For example:
For example:
It’s essential to be funny when giving your
presentation. It’s easy to forget the words to your
Remember that visual aids can be extremely helpful tools to
use.
presentation.
• Here the adjectives essential and easy are used to
describe how we feel about being funny or forgetting
the words in presentations.
In the negative, we just add not before to + infinitive.
So we could say:
It’s important to be on time.
or
It’s important not to be late.
Here, the adjective is followed by a noun, but we still use
the verb in the infinitive. So the adjective helpful describes
both the visual aids, and the act of using them.
