Is the following sentence is grammatically correct?

I watched someone explaining that 'to infinitive' is used as an adjective in a sentence, like the adjective 'good'. And I heard him saying like the following sentence.
Is it grammatically correct? Is there something wrong?

Do you think the part(=as good is namely as an adjective) is correct?
If it's incorect, correct sentence.

I might have heard wrongly. Anyway I want your opinions.
I don't need the information about 'to infinitive'.
Thanks in advance

-That shows you that 'to watch' is functioning in the same way as 'good' is namely as an adjective. -

Hi Darcy The should be some kind of punctuation after the words " the same way as 'good' is ". I'd say most people would use a comma there. -That shows you that 'to watch' is functioning in the same way as 'good' is , namely as an adjective.

  • You can also use the word "that" instead of "as".
  • ) In fact, you don't actually have to have a word there at all: -That shows you that 'to watch' is functioning in the same way ( that ) 'good' is , namely as an adjective.
