2.2 Adjectives Followed By Infinitives

Share & Comment
Certain adjectives can be immediately followed by infinitives, as in (a) and (b). In general, these adjectives describe a person (or persons), not a thing. Many of these adjectives describe a person's feelings or attitudes.
Example:

(b) I was surprised to see Tim at the meeting.
