going to a party

We would like you to come with us to the party.

Verb + Object + To + Infinitive Verb

In Grammar 8-2, we learned to use verbs such as want and would like with to + infinitive verb:

kid

I don't want to go. I want to stay.

selfie

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:

kid

I don't want to go. I want to stay.

parents and child

I don't want you to go. I want you to stay.

selfie 2

We would like to take a photo.
