It is the fifth monument to be built outside.
I have learned these.
He was the first to cross the ocean.
-> He was the first who crossed the ocean.
He is the last to say it.
-> He is the first who will say it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
And I havr a question about this sentence.
It is the fifth monument to be built outside.
-> It is the fifth monument which was built outside.
-> It is the fifth monument which will be built outside.
I think that the orignal sentence can be interpreted in both ways, depending on context.
What do you native English speaekers think?
Thank you so much as usual in advance!
