'I wanted for you to see it' vs 'I wanted you to see it' Tue Nov 13, 2007 17:16 pm  'I wanted for you to see it' vs 'I wanted you to see it'
 

Hello,

What is the difference between these two sentences?

1- I wanted for you to see it.
2- I wanted you to see it.

Thanks,
Nina

No difference. I find the first overly constructed and the second natural.
