Are these correct:
1-Jane is one of the women to participate in our discussion group.
2-Jane is a woman to participate in our discussion group.
I think '1' works but '2' does not.
It seems to be saying that if Jane has accepted to participate in our discussion group, then she is a woman. (She is a brave person to participate in our discussion group.)
3-John is a player to score goals.
This one seems OK to me. It means he can score goals.
Gratefully,
Navi.
