I have a English question, I wonder if anyone can explain it.
The book says "English is easy to learn" is a correct sentence.
But I doubt why it is correct. And in my opinion, it should be "English is easy to be learnt", but the grammar book says it is a wrong sentence.
Here are my concepts:
1. English is an object.
2. English is not able to LEARN, English is able to be LEARNT, <---isn't it?
3. I am happy to learn English <---Active Voice
4. English is learnt by all the students in my country<---Passive Voice
Therefore, i think the sentence should be "English is easy to be learnt". Passive voice should be used in this sentence.
I would appreciate it if someone could point out my wrong concepts. Thank you.
