1.It is dangerous for a woman to walk alone at night in this town.
2. It is dangerous that a woman walks alone at night in this town.

Here, S. 2. is incorrect. We don't say in that sentence structure.


3. It is impossible for you to look after the child.
4. It is impossible that you look after the child.

Here, at first I thought that maybe the stressed word changes the meaning. but after some searching I found that we use some adj. only with to-infinitive when we want to express a feeling or opinion; and 'impossible' is one of them. Hence S. 3. is correct

thank you for your time

In all of the examples in the threads you've posted today, the version with the to-infinitive is the correct form.

From now on, please provide the sources that you're learning from. That will allow us to check whether you've understood them correctly.
