It was amazing (seeing) these animals
انا عارف ان to-inf. صح ولكن كيف v-ing
اخ كريم قال......
(From the speaker's perspective)
adj+to-inf=a possibility or proposal
adj+ing=something already fulfilled
فما راي اخوتى الكرام.

اعتقد ان
It was amazing to see these animals.
It was amazing seeing these animals.
In both these cases, the event has already happened, since the main verb (was) is in the past tense. They mean the same thing
............
It will be amazing to see these animals.
It will be amazing seeing these animals.
In both these cases, the event has not yet occurred. They mean the same thing

السلام عليكم
أعتقد أننا عندما نستخد It كـ preparatory subject يليها verb to be ثم نستخدم الـ to-inf فإننا نعنى حدث سنبدأ القيام به أو كنا سنبدأ القيام به
It is nice to talk to you
أما إذا استخدمنا بعدها Gerund فكما ذكر الزملاء فهى تعنى ان الحدث تم القيام به أو قد وقع
It was nice seeing you
ولمزيد من الإطلاع أرفقت صفحات من كتاب Practical English Usaga تتناول هذه التركيبات ولكنها لم تخبرنا عن الفرق بينها فى المعنى (انظر المرفقات)
