Hi,
I would either opt for A or C.
Of course (A) would be the best choice.I think B sounds a trifle weird.
Please advise...
Regards.

F) is english (language) easy to learn?
G) is english (language) easy learning one?

A, C, F. They are right. Easy to learn, not easy learning. After an adjective: Infinitive + to
I've heard after some adjectives (easy, difficulty) is possible to use either infinitive or gerund form to make complex adjective like
easy to learn
easy learning
what i also do not understand is how came
it's an easy lesson to learn is better than
it's an easy to learn lesson.
In the last sentence "easy to learn" is tied up and being complex adjective for me.
why to split that adjective? and say "easy lesson to learn"
"It's an easy lesson to learn". I think it's the best way, or one of them, to say that. Or you can say as well: "It's easy to learn" You are talking about the lesson. It = The lesson
In the sentence you change "the lesson" for "it": It's easy to learn.
Hope it helps.
A) Is English an easy language to learn?
B) Is English an easy-to-learn language?
C) Is English an easy-learning language?
Easy-learning works as an adjective, but semantically the meaning it expresses doesn't work with its noun language. Try, ... easily learned language...
E) English is easy learning one?![]()
F) Is English easy to learn?
Is the English language easy to learn?
G) Is English easy learning one?![]()
A,B and F are right. I wrotte A,C and F. Sorry!!!!!. THX SOUP. Are you SOUP, from Call of Duty 4?? jeje![]()
