Verb + Object + To + Infinitive Verb
In Grammar 8-2, we learned to use verbs such as want and would like with to + infinitive verb:
I don't want to go. I want to stay.
We would like to take a photo.
Between want / would like and to + infinitive verb, we can use an object. Often, this object is a person.
Notice the difference in meaning:
I don't want to go. I want to stay.
I don't want you to go. I want you to stay.
