no problem + to infinitive? #1 (permalink) Mon Nov 02, 2009 14:09 pm   no problem + to infinitive?
 

Hi, please take a look at the following sentence:
It's no problem picking you up at 9 o'clock.

Would it be OK to use a to-infinitive instead of the gerund too?
It's no problem to pick you up at 9 o'clock.

Many thanks,
Torsten

According to ego4u it's wrong though.
