Non-finite clauses with subject
Thank you, CJ.
I'd like to ask you one more question: If I said something like: Her to do it is what I want or Him doing it isn't what I want. Would it be a huge deal? Even though the correct would be: For her to do it and His doing it.
I certainly know that a grammar teacher would probably freak out, however, saying it in a normal place would be proper or usual or would it be a huge deal?
