INFINITIVE CLAUSES WITH IMPERSONAL IT

In English grammar, an infinitive clause is a subordinate clause whose verb is in the infinitive form. Also known as an infinitival clause or a to-infinitive clause

The infinitive clause is called a clause because it may contain such clausal elements as a subject, object, complement, or modifier. Unlike most other subordinate clauses in English, infinitive clauses are not introduced by a subordinating conjunction.

Verbs that can be followed by infinitive clauses (as objects) include agree, begin, decide, hope, intend, like, plan, and propose.
