"It is rude of him to speak filthy words."
Do we only add "of" following an adjective in this case: adjective + "of" + subject + to-infinitive?
THX!
When do we use "of" following an adjective?

Yes, this is much the same as:"You are rude to speak filthy words."
This pattern goes as:
It is "an adjective" (indicating a person's nature or character, such as kind, nice, foolish, and clever) of a person to-inifinitive.

It also happens in a few phrases like "short of breath" and "slow of tongue." I can't really think of many examples of that though.
