Dear teacher,
It's a rocky road from news to history. If you don't think so, just take a look at the entry for George W. Bush on Wikipedia, the collaborative online encyclopedia founded in 2001 by Larry Sanger, a philosophy lecturer at Ohio State University, and Jimmy Wales, an Internet entrepreneur.
Q : I think "It's a rocky road from news to history" means "A way for news to become history is difficult. When it comes to the structure, "it" does not refer to "from news to history" but just a formal subject, having no meaning. What do you think?
A formal subject
