“I Want You to Learn This!” – Mastering Verb + Object + Infinitive in English” (Upper-Intermediate)
🪄 Introduction
Have you ever heard someone say, “I want you to listen” or “She told me to wait”? This structure is common in English — but many learners don’t realise how often they need it.
In today’s post, we’ll explore the verb + object + infinitive with «to» structure. It’s an essential pattern that helps you give instructions, express wishes, or report what others say — all in a natural, fluent way.
Once you’ve read the examples, try the quiz to test your understanding!
