How does infinitive work after noun
Here are my questions:
1. way to protect the environment
2. experience to deal with teenage's problem
I wonder why we can say way to protect the environment, but we never say experience to deal with teenage's problem.
I assume that to do in 1st sentence behaves as an appositive, that is to say, way = protect the environment. As a results, I think that "to deal with teenage's problem" in the 2nd sentence can act as the same way as the infinitive dose in 1st sentence.
1 Can we consider to protect the environment to be an appositive?
2 why dose "experience to deal with teenage's problem" express incorrectly?
