"To like for somebody/something to be something" vs. "to like somebody/something to be something"
Solution 1:
After the verb like, and other verbs of preference or intention, an infinitive object complement clause requires a For..To-complementizer on its verb
- I would like to go., but not
- *I would like go.
and like optionally allows a For-complementizer to mark the subject of an infinitive complement, if it's different from the subject of like
- I would like for him to go ~ I would like him to go.
This is all summed up in the formula below, with optional for in parentheses:
- I would like (for) him to go
Similarly,
- I intend (for) him to become an engineer.
- I prefer (for) you not to leave.
- I want (for) you to go tomorrow.enter link description here
Normally, though, the for of the For...To infinitive complementizer gets deleted.
Solution 2:
There is no effective difference in terms of meaning. Both can be used interchangeably, though the first sounds more formal ( this isn't to say it is formal )
