Grammar??? I LOVE IT! (part 2)

Well, well,
It's becoming more challenging, I hope. This time you are to give at least two examples with the infinitives according to the mentioned functions.

Subject:
To have dreams can be fun. (I have very interesting dreams from time to time.)
It’s useless to watch films on the lessons. (That’s why I don’t like to do it.)

Adverbial modifier of purpose:
I make up my own examples with new words to remember them better.
I will probably invite guests this Saturday to organize a party for my child. (Her birthday is on Thursday.)

Adverbial modifier of result with “too” and “enough”:
I am too lazy to go for a walk in the evening. (As a matter of fact I can avoid leaving home for quite a long period.)
My friend is adventurous enough to travel a lot on his own.

Attribute:
I don’t want to be the first to end a quarrel. (Very stupid of me, indeed, it has been going on for 2 years already.)
I have prepared some useful stuff to do on the lesson.
“GULAG Archipelago” is a book to get you down.

Complex Object:
I expect you to learn the infinitive constructions after all! (and to use them in your speech.)
Yesterday on the underground train I observed lots of people enter and leave.
I have just heard my child sing a song in English. (She learnt it herself.)

Complex Subject:
Some of you seem to have remembered a lot of things we studied.
Some days ago my friend happened to overhear some interesting information. (She shared it with me immediately, we were nasty.)
I am not likely to go outside today. (I have already written about being very lazy.)

Good luck! and remember that studying grammar is fun!
