Adjective + to-infinitive/ Adjective + that clause

Read this part of the conversation from GETTING STARTED. PAY attention to the underlined part.

1. It + be + adjective + to - infinitive is used to emphasise information by bringing it to the front of the clause. We can add for/of + noun/pronoun.

Example:

It is necessary (for you) to know about your country’s history.

Example:

I was happy to hear from you.

3.  Subject + be + adjective + that - clause is used to express emotions )glad, pleased, relieved, sorry), confidence, or worries (certain, sure, confident, afraid, annoyed, astonished, aware, conscious).

Example:
