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.

We would like to take a photo.

We would like you to take a photo of us.
