Grammar
To appointment, we missed the train
1. Because he was late to appointment we missed the train.
2. For him to be late to appointment, we missed the train.
I'd like to know whether I can use to-infinitive to express the cause of an action, not the cause of an emotion, as in #2.
Thank you in advance for your help.
