I doubt if 'worth' shows the same pattern as 'easy' does.
ex. Tom is easy to please = It is easy to please Tom.
His idea is worth considering =
It is worth considering his idea.(??)
Is the italicized sentence grammatically correct?

Thank you for the answer.
So, the sentence in question is correct.
Is that structure with dummy 'it' as a subject position frequently used, in case of 'worth' being predicate?
