Grammar
A man to...
1-Here is a doctor to cure you.
Meaning: Here is a doctor who can cure you.
2-John is a doctor to cure you.
Meaning: John is a doctor who can cure you.
3-Here is a man to participate in our project.
4-John is a man to participate in our project.
Does "3" mean: He is a man who can participate in our project.
or:
He is a man who will participate in our project.
It is funny but I get the feeling that "1" and "3" are fine but "2" and "4" are not.
Gratefully,
Navi.
