Please consider the following:
"All I am asking for is to be given a chance."
What was the main form or structure of sentence above before in rearranged? (before it was used in noun clause form)
I found only the following structure by looking up in some dictionaries:
"ask for somebody something" or "ask somebody to do something".
NOT "ask for somebody to do something" (we don't have this structure in any dictionaries)
But I don't know why did the writer use 'to do something' ?
It is a bit confusing.
