What is the difference?

Hello, would someone please take at look at following sentences:

  • It is exciting to watch this movie

  • Exciting as it is to watch this movie
I'm wondering whether there's any difference in meaning? thank you in advance.

Hi ESL-b, Your first sentence is correct [except for the omission of a period at the end]. The second is not a sentence, but rather a part of a sentence. The meaning of your second phrase is that although the movie is exciting to watch, there is something else that we need to do right now.

  • You might say: Exciting as it is to watch this movie, I think we should go to dinner now before the restaurant closes..
  • To use the first sentence in the same way, you could say: It is exciting to watch this movie, but we need to go to dinner now before the restaurant closes.
