"WANT TO" (DESIRE) ESL DAILY EXERCISE
WANT TO
We use the verb want to talk about wishes and needs, and to give advice:
What do you want for dinner tonight? (wish or desire)
The kitchen wants painting. (needs)
You want to get your tickets soon before they’re all sold out. (I advise you to)
Most uses of want involve the simple forms of the verb (want, wants, wanted). When we are talking about wishes or desires we can also use the continuous form (is wanting, was wanting, will be wanting).
Want meaning ‘wish’ or ‘desire’
We always follow want with a complement of some kind. The complement completes the meaning of the clause.
Warning:
We don’t use want with a that-clause:
I want you to tidy your room before the visitors come.
Not: I want that you tidy your room …
