The For-Complex
|
|
7.2. The For-Complex (For-to-Infinitive Construction) is built of a phrase N/Pron.+INF following the preposition for. For marks the ‘subject’ of the INF – the person or thing with which the action of the infinitive is associated. In the sentence the complex is used in a number of functions.
7.2.1. As Subject the For-Complexis used mostly in postposition to the Pred.:
But when the man perceived that it would be more agreeable for me to converse than to eat any more, he began to inquire of me who I was. It's never been easy for me to say things out of my heart, but at times like this it's easier.
However, occasionally you can find it before the predicate:
For me to ask would be treason. For a man of his age to be so live and energetic is so unexpected.
7.2.2. As Predicative the Complex follows a linking verb be or other links after the Subj.:
So the best way would be for us to pick out two or three things from the list and say we wouldn't borrow them any more. To be happy was for her to be loved.
7.2.3. As an Object theComplex is used after
- some action verbs that denote actions directed at something. In the sentence such verbs can be used with direct or prepositional object (arrange, ask, call, long, plead, phone, ring, send, vote):
He asked for the papers to be brought. The society called for consumers to take conservation measures to save water.
- nominal predicates containing adjectives that denote willingness or determination (anxious, glad, willing, etc. ):
He was very anxious for the clerk to tell him how people went on in the capital. We shall be glad for you to stay as long as you can. The girls were complacent, willing for anything to happen.
Note similar cases in which there is no complex as there are no predicative relations between the N/Pron and INF, thus INF is used attributively: I have lost much flesh since I lived there, and now I am anxious for a chance to show the other beasts how courageous I have grown (=I’m anxious for a chance and I will show how courageous I have grown, not * The chance will show …);
7.2.4. In the function of an Attribute the complex is often used to modify common concrete or abstract nouns or pronouns that can substitute for them:
Then the thing for us to do was to go for the magicians. There was no need for her to speak, nor for me either. There was nothing for us to do but amuse ourselves.
7.2.5. As AM of purpose,the For-Complexis most often used with process verbs such as hold, wait, watch, pray:
If the men went to the island, I just expect they found the campfire I built, and watched it all night for Jim to come. They are only waiting for her to come to her senses to arrest her.
7.2.6. As an AM of consequence the Complex is used after the nominal predicates expressing quantity or the degree of some quality (See also 6.1. INF as AM):
The probability, therefore, is, that each of these fixed stars is also a Sun, round which another system of worlds or planets, though too remote for us to discover, performs its revolutions, as our system of worlds does round our central Sun. She died of fever when I was just three months old; I do wish she'd lived long enough for me to remember calling her mother.
