| 1. It is quite normal for a person to be the subject of a sentence. 2. It is quite normal that a person is the subject of a sentence. I feel that those two sentences have a slightly different meaning, even though they carry the same information. Nevertheless, I am not able to define the difference. Could you help me with this? Thanks, Nyggus |

| No. 1 implies that it is quite normal for a person, and No. 2 implies that it is quite normal for a sentence. |
