it is good for you

Post by azz »

a. It hurts me remembering those days.

b. It bothers me talking to him.

c. It is good for you eating fruit and vegetables.

d. It is nice sitting here.


Are the above sentences grammatically correct?

I think they are all fine, however I'd use the infinitive in the first three cases. I don't know why (d) sounds natural to me and the other three not so much.


Many thanks

Yes, infinitves would be correct in the first three (and possible, though not obligatory, in #4).
