Saying what you want: "want to" + verb
Explanation
To say what you want to do, use "want" + "to" + a verb: I want to buy this, I want to go to the shop, She wants to sell her car. The small word "to" always sits between "want" and the next verb — never leave it out. (For he / she / it, "want" takes -s: she wants to buy.) Many languages join the wish straight to the verb, so learners often say "I want buy" — in English you must keep the "to": I want to buy.
Examples
- I want to buy this bag.I want to buy this bag.
- Do you want to buy some fruit?Do you want to buy some fruit?
- I want to go to the shop.I want to go to the shop.
- She wants to sell her phone.She wants to sell her phone.
