For-clause at the beginning of a sentence?
Is there a name for this sort of thing? Here's an example...
"For her not to call her mother on Mother's Day is outrageous."
I called it a "for-clause" but is there another name for it? It's clearly a clause, one that's fulfilling the role of subject in the sentence, but something about it is throwing me off. Thanks in advance!
