B2 The "worth" structures

The "be + worth + -ing" structures To talk about the value of an activity, we can use an -ing form with worth. Worth can be used in two structures: 1. As the -ing clause cannot be the subject, we use the preparatory it as subject (or its almost symmetrical alternative): It is not worth getting upset (= getting upset is not worth it/worthwhile). I live a short walk from here, so it's not worth taking a taxi (= taking a taxi is not worth it/worthwhile). It isn't worth repairing your old car. 2. We can also use a structure in which the object of the -ing form is made the subject of the sentence: Your old car isn't worth repairing. What was the film like? Was it worth seeing? The Greek Islands are definitely worth visiting. I believe the welfare state is definitely worth fighting for. Practise this second structure and conjugate the following examples: the Prado Museum/ visit Amenábar's latest film/ see Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy/ read tonight's football match on TV between Huesca and Alcoyano/ watch 'Big Brother' TV show/ watch
