Noun+ infinitive + verb structure
Hi
In my grammar book I've got a sentence <The woman to talk to is over> there and this is the only example That makes me believe I can say things like:
-The packages to deal with will arrive tomorrow
-The foreigner student to help to practice his Norwegian isn't here anymore
-Sorry! The guy to fix such things doesn't work today
-My time to talk has come
-The wish to call her waned after some time
I'm getting the hang of it or I'm really off? )
