To-infinitive non-clauses

Hey guys.

I have already asked one question about it, and Callifgym helped me a lot and made me understand it.

However, I'd like any of you to clarify it to me as well:


So far, I know that to-infinitives can have a subject when acting as a subject of the sentence (For me to kill you is impossible), and as a direct object (I want her to do it). I'd like to know whether or not to-infinitives can have a subject when acting as a subject complement, an adjective and an adverb:

For me to like her is impossible (As a subject)

I want her to do it (As a direct object)

Subject complement: ?

These are the newspapers for her to read (As an adjective), correct?

I came all this way for her to see me (As an adverb), correct?


Thank you a lot!
