Hi,

The goal of the Tablet PC is to make it possible to control a computer with a pen.

Can we change the structure of the sentence as the folowing?

1- The goal of the Tablet PC is to make controlling a computer with a pen possible.

2- The goal of the Tablet PC is to make it possible controlling a computer with a pen.

3- The goal of the Tablet PC is to make to control a computer with a pen possible.

Thanks.
 
Hi,

1- The goal of the Tablet PC is to make controlling a computer with a pen possible. Okay

2- The goal of the Tablet PC is to make[STRIKE] it [/STRIKE]possible controlling a computer with a pen. A bit literary (once you delete the "it") but possible.

3- The goal of the Tablet PC is to make to control a computer with a pen possible. No
Thanks.

Hi, All,

Am I right thinking that the sentence in question can be simplified a bit while maintaining the original sense in this way:

"The goal of the Tablet PC is to enable controlling a computer with a pen." ?
 
I prefer the original.
