Are the sentences 1 and 2 correct? If both are correct, do they express the same meaning?
Thanks in advance.
Both are correct, but the first one is a bit nuanced. "easy reading" is a noun phrase, adjective + gerund.
"We had a rough outing in the game yesterday." (We didn't do well in the game.)
The second would sound more fluent if you said, "It is easy to read the book."
Stumble It!
