14 -sure to / sure that-
Nota d'usoQuando sure e certain sono seguiti dall'infinito con to, si riferiscono al punto di vista di chi pronuncia la frase e non a quello del soggetto della frase stessa: My sister is sure to find a job soon, sicuramente mia sorella troverà presto un lavoro (non mia sorella è sicura di trovare presto un lavoro); We're sure to win, vinceremo di sicuro, sicuramente vinceremo (non siamo sicuri di vincere); They are certain to make it, certamente ce la faranno, ce la faranno di certo (non sono certi di farcela). Analogamente: It's sure to rain in the next three days, nei prossimi tre giorni pioverà di sicuro; Negotiators look certain to reach an agreement by Friday, appare certo che i negoziatori raggiungeranno un accordo entro venerdì.Per dire invece che il soggetto della frase è sicuro o certo che accadrà qualcosa, si usano rispettivamente le strutture sure o certain that + proposizione, oppure sure o certain of + - ing:We're sure that we will win (o We're sure of winning), siamo sicuri di vincere; My sister feels sure that she will find a job soon, mia sorella è sicura di trovare presto un lavoro; I'm sure that I warned him, sono sicuro di averlo avvertito; They are certain that they will make it (o They are certain of making it), sono certi di farcela; Negotiators are certain that they will reach (o of reaching) an agreement by Friday, i negoziatori sono certi di raggiungere un accordo entro venerdì. -
