When the subjective is an infinitive phrase

Ø It is difficult to know his motive. (= To know his motive is difficult.)

Ø To become a well known writer was his life-long ambition. (OR It was his lifelong ambition to become a well known writer.)

Ø To invest all your money in shares is foolish. (OR It is foolish to invest all your money in shares.)

When the subject is a gerund phrase

When the real subject is a phrase that includes a gerund, it is used as a provisional subject to begin the sentence. So instead of saying ‘Your trying to fool us is no good’, we say, ‘It is no good your trying to fool us.’

Ø It won’t be any good complaining to the manager. (Complaining to the anager won’t be any good.)
