I am happy for him to lose. vs I am happy for him to have lost. #1 (permalink) Fri Dec 26, 2008 15:05 pm   I am happy for him to lose. vs I am happy for him to have lost.		  
Can one say:

1-I am happy for him to lose.
2-I am happy for him to have lost.

instead of:

I am happy that he lost.

Not to my knowledge.
"For" is a preposition.
"That" is a conjunction connecting two actions (verbs) in the sentence.

If I am wrong, please correct me.

God bless.
