Instructions
See the cue and write the correct sentence using WANT, etc. Use the -TAB- key on your computer keyboard to move from one box to the next.
The verb WANT is followed by infinitive with TO
I want to go to Rome
She wants to learn Spanish
Everybody wants to win But when we have two different persons involved, we use this construction:
subject + Want + object + infinitive with to
I want to go 
I want + I go (I = I)
I want him to go I want + he goes (I / he)
They want us to do the job
She wants me to stay with her
I want you to come with me
He wants them to repair his house in two months
I want David to work with me (not: I want that David works with me) Negative and interrogative form
(+) I want you to come with me
(-) I don't want you to come with me
(?) Do you want me to help you?
For more advanced learners
Two different negatives. Compare:
They don't want + I do it = They don't want me to do it (absense of will)
They want + I don't do it = They want me not to do it (negative will)
I don't want you to go, I want you to stay with me
Stop, stop! I want you not to touch anything until I give the order
A few other verbs use this same construction: would like, ask, expect, help, mean, allow, order, need...
I expect them to finish soon
I'd like you to come with me
She said she would prefer us to visit her tomorrow
He asked me to hurry up
I didn't mean her to cry
They helped us (to) put the sofa inside the house
They don't allow people to smoke here
I need you to wait for me
