Adjective + que + noun/subject pronoun + subjunctive/infinitive
Okay, so I'm working through an "Advanced Spanish Grammar", obviously (I believe) written by a native Spanish speaker (based on the occasionally awkward English...). It's probably a bit beyond my ability, but I'm really trying to grasp as much of it as I can anyway.....
In the chapter on adjectives, there are several sections on adjective constructions. The one that I have questions about is like this: adjective + que + noun/subject pronoun + subjunctive There are several examples given: Es importante que él se haga miembro. No es justo que ella viva aquí. Then they say that sometimes you can arrange the structures as follows, but not always, in this form: adjective + para + noun/subject pronoun + infinitive: (1) Es bueno para ella nada mucho. (2) No es conveniente para ti hacer eso. The "not always" example is given as INcorrect: (3) Es extraño para ella hacer eso. I don't understand why #1 and #2 are correct and #3 isn't ... they seem exactly the same to me. What is the difference? Can you give me some more examples of correct vs. incorrect sentences of the same construction?
