This is Everyday Grammar. I'm Kaveh.

Is it time to record Everyday Grammar? Lucija, yes, we are recording now!

Oh! I'm Lucija. Actually, Kaveh is there a way to re-shoot this episode?

No. But thank you for introducing today's topic! Wait, what?

Today, we are talking about ADJECTIVAL INFINITIVES. I remember ADJECTIVAL INFINITIVES!

Those are infinitives that modify nouns. They combine the base form of the verb with TO- the sign of the infinitive.

Right! Infinitives often modify the nouns TIME, PLACE, and WAY.

Oh! So when I said, "Is it the time to record Everyday Grammar?" I gave an example of an infinitive modifying the noun "time." You also gave an example of one common feature of adjectival infinitivesthey often do not state the subject.

Wait, how does that work? In your sentence, "IS IT TIME TO RECORD EVERYDAY GRAMMAR?" you left out the subject of the sentence.

You could have stated the subject, but then your sentence would have been: IS IT TIME FOR US TO RECORD EVERYDAY GRAMMAR? Yeah. I did not state the subject because it did not add much information.
