The validity of "It's adj./n. for sb doing ..."?

I wanna thank you, the experts at EnglishForward,

in advance for your replies and instructions.

According to my knowledge, such parlances as

"It's adj. (for/to the interseted person) for sb to do..." and

"It's a/an n. (for/to the interseted person) for sb to do..." are valid.

So, are such sentences as



"It's dangerous/a danger your doing ..." &

"It's dangerous/a danger for you doing ..." valid?

Looking forward to your answer(s) with gratitude.

P.S.:

For fans of English Language as foreign language, the efforts of you to instruct us

(OR 'the efforts of you instructing us'----

Is it kinda another querstion?), do be what heroes do.
