In favor of
Hi
Does the difference change the meaning of the sentence
to place oneself purposely in the favor of another
to place oneself purposely in favor of another
The correct idiom is 'in favor of someone', but then what is 'in the favor of' ?
Thanks!

If you are "in the favour of (someone)" then that person favours you, and you benefit. If you are "in favour of (someone/something)" then you support/prefer that person or thing. This is a more common expression.

Please let me know if this is correct? I looked under favor or play but could not find it.
How can I write :
Are play, work, go, turn correct with 'favor' and 'advantage'?
That should play in/to your favor.
That should go/turn/work to/in your advantage not his.
