Verb
if one can say-" I find it hard to study." (I find it is hard to study) why can't one say "She says it fun to go to the movies" (She says it is fun to go to the movies)?

Because fun is not a verb, it is an adjective and when we have an adjective, it normally goes with TO BE.

Hi Nan,
Different verbs can be followed by different kinds of word and structure. Some transitive verbs can be followed by an object together with an object complement. 'Find' is one of the verbs. In your first example, the word 'hard', which is an adjective, functions as an object complement. Another example: She found the pillow very comfortable.
'Say', on the other hand, does not nor
