Welche Präpositionen folgen auf “Portierung” (Softwareportierung)? @em1: Wenn du dir die Texte mit "portieren zu" genauer anguckst, ist in den älteren Texten meist die Rede von Portieren (Vorhänge) und in den neueren Texten zusätzlich Bruchstücke wie "portieren zu können" und "portieren zu müssen". |

The use of an infinitive with the pronoun “es” @artistoex: Yes, English uses mostly "it" and "there" as expletives, in this case to fill up the sentence with a subject, since "Rains." would be a grammatically incomplete sentence. You'll find the same usage of "it" in many West European languages, e.g. German "es regnet", French: "il pleut", Norwegian: "det regner". |

The use of an infinitive with the pronoun “es” The word order is modified to emphasize the action instead of the subject and does not necessarily contribute to the commanding mode. Independent of the word order, the speaker talks about other persons in the present tense in the expectation that what he is saying will be done. You can find similar constructs in English as well, e.g. when a parent says to its child: "You are staying in your room." Even if the statement is not expressed as a grammatical imperative ("Stay in your room!"), it is to be understood as a command. |
