1) It is + adj. (+ for + sb.) + to do sth.。常用于此句型的形容词有important, difficult, dangerous, necessary, useful, possible等，用来对to do sth. 进行说明。如： It’s difficult for us to finish the work in an hour. 2) It is + adj. + of + sb. + to do sth.。常用于此句型的形容词有good, kind, nice, clever, wise等，用来对sb.的性格、品质等进行说明。如：It’s kind of you to say so.
