There's many uses of "it" Is the following "it" a false subject or impersonality subject?
By false subject, I mean as in "It is hard to work out everyday" (To work out is the real subject)
By impersonality subject, I mean subjects indicating time, weather, distance, weight, etc not related to persons. In this sense, this "it" can seem time and "to go to school" seems a purpose as an adverbial usage.
This was a question of a middle school reference book, so I got confused. I need your kind answer.
ex)It takes me an hour to go to school
