[1] Finding the right job is not easy.
=[2] It is not easy finding the right job.
=[3] It is not easy to find the right job.
From above sentences, which one between [2] and [3] is the same meaning of [1]?

Hi Marrion,
#2 is the closest:
It's not easy finding the right job.

[1] Finding the right job is not easy.
=[2] It is not easy finding the right job.
=[3] It is not easy to find the right job.
=[4] To find the right job is not easy.
I was taught that �[1]Finding the right job.........� is the same meaning of this sentence, �[4] To find the right job...�
If so....
Are all these sentences the same meaning? |

And now for a third opinion....
To me, the construction "It is not easy to find the right job." and "Finding the right job is easy." are the same. I don't use "It is not easy finding the right job." as it sounds awkward, and I would never teach that construction.
It's not easy to learn English. Learning English isn't easy.
It's important to ask questions. Asking questions is important. |
