Hi,

Do you say:

Life is worth to be lived / The spectacle is worth being seen / It was worth doing it /

Can you correct me please?
 
Hi, Bieasy,

'Life is worth living.'

'The spectacle is worth seeing.'

'It was worth doing.'

'It was worth doing.'

Thanks. But why do I hear 'was it worth it?' They use twice the pronoun 'it'. Isn't it redundant?
 
No, it is not redundant.

"The spectacle was worth seeing."
"It was worth it."
It(1) = the spectacle.
it(2) = seeing.
