I predict a black future for you
I forecast a black future for you
I predict a bleak future for you
I forecast a bleak future for you
I predict a gloomy future for you
I forecast a gloomy future for you
(I prefer the second one)

So the structure of the verb is to forecast sth (for sb?)

Can you think of other verbs following this structure? Or a rule by which we have to apply it.?

I don't quite understand the question. Most transitive verbs follow that construction: Subject + verb + direct object (+ indirect object)
I gave my hat to you
I see a nice future for you
Although verbs of wishing have
I wish you a merry christmas
where (to) you is an indirect object :thinking:
