A los 20 años -CC de modo?
Hola,

Tengo una pregunta acerca del análisis sintactico de la siguiente oración :

Aprender a conducir un coche a los veinte años no es cosa fácil.

Aprender a conducir un coche- es el sujeto, verdad?
No- CC de negación
es- núcleo verbal
cosa fácil - predicativo obligatorio

y - a los veinte años - es un circunstancial? o forma parte del sujeto?

Yes, the infinitive works like the English gerund.

Creo yo que "Aprender a conducir un coche a los veinte años" es el sujeto. La frase preposicional "a los veinte años" es un adverbio que modifica el verbo "aprender".

She didn't isolate the infinitive but, you're right, it is the equivalent of the English gerund in the OP's sentence.

It is a part of the subject, as you already asserted.
