When the subjective is an infinitive phrase:
We begin a sentence with it when the real subject is an infinitive phrase.
So instead of saying, ‘To accept your advice is difficult’, we say, ‘It is difficult to accept your advice’.
Structure: It + verb + subject complement + infinitive phrase (real subject)
- It is easy to learn English. (To learn English is easy.)
- It is easy to find fault with others. (To find fault with others is easy.)
- It is difficult to know his motive. (To know his motive is difficult.)
- It is difficult to find a good job during these troubled times.
- It is dangerous to play with fire.
- It could be dangerous to drive so fast.
That when we wish to emphasize the infinitive phrase, it may be put at the beginning, especially when it is short

The noun phrase is a group of words that ends with a noun. It can contain determiners (the, a, this, etc.), adjectives, adverbs, and nouns. It cannot begin with a preposition. Remember that both subjects and complements are generally noun phrases.

How do we use the Simple Future Tense?
No Plan: we use the simple future tense when there is no plan or decision to do something before we speak. We make the decision spontaneously at the time of speaking.
Example:
- Hold on. I'll get a pen.
- We will
see what we can do to help you. - Maybe we'll stay in and watch television tonight
- I think I'll go to the gym tomorrow.
- I think I will have a holiday next year.

Prediction: we often use the simple future tense to make a prediction about the future. Again, there is no firm plan. We are saying what we think will happen.
- It will rain tomorrow.
- People won't go to Jupiter before the 22nd century.
- Who do you think will get the job?
That when we have a plan or intention to do something in the future, we usually use other tenses or expressions, such as the present continuous tense or going to.
