It is worth

I doubt if 'worth' shows the same pattern as 'easy' does.

ex. Tom is easy to please = It is easy to please Tom.

His idea is worth considering =
It is worth considering his idea.(??)

Is the italicized sentence grammatically correct?
  

Top answer

Yes. However, the patterns "easy to please" and "worth considering" are of course not identical in grammatical structure.

Thank you for the answer.
So, the sentence in question is correct.
Is that structure with dummy 'it' as a subject position frequently used, in case of 'worth' being predicate?
