English Language & Usage Asked by Igorrr on March 5, 2021
Is there a chance that the expression "He is unfit to babysit" is about the baby to be babysat rather than the person who is supposed to babysit that baby? Thanks!
I would avoid the confusion by re-ordering the sentence to say something like: the baby is unfit to be left with a babysitter.

No. The baby is the object, not the subject, and therefore it would have be "He is unfit to be babysat" -- a passive infinitive.
