Predicting  the  future  can  be  difficult.
predicting动名词作主语
动词只有作谓语的时候可以用原形，动词作其它句子成分（主语、
宾语、状语、定语）都要变成名词性的。
变名词的形式有两种:(1)在后面加ing;(2)在前面加to.
大部分动词在后面加ing和在前面加to意思都一样，还有一部分
动词后面只能加ing或者只能在前面加
to，还有一部分动词ing,to都可以加，但是意思不一样。这句话
在前面加to也行，可以这样改：
It can  be  difficult  to  predict  the  future.
=To  predict  the    future  can    be  difficult.
这句话就是动词不定式作主语。it是形式主语，当动词不定式作主
语时经常用it作形式主语。
