    Default i hope for you to...

    I hope for you to be the very best of all that you can be.
    I hope for you to have all the best things in life.

    are the sentences above grammatically correct? i'm wondering because i can't find sentences starting with a phrase 'i hope for you to...'.
    thanks for your help!

    They are grammatically correct but they are not natural.
