Want cannot be followed by that-clauses, but we can use an object +


infinitive structure.

● I want him to go now.


● Do you want me to make you some tea? (NOT Do you want
that I make you some coffee?)
● I don’t want him to come here again.
● I want you to be my queen.

Want can be followed by an object + complement.

● We want him dead or alive.


● I want him back.
● I want the job finished by Tuesday.

When the object complement is a noun, we use to be or as before it.

● I want you to be my girlfriend.


● OR I want you as my girlfriend.
In British English, want can mean ‘need’. In this case, it can be followed
by an –ing form.

● Your hair wants cutting. (= Your hair needs to be cut.)


● That carpet wants a clean. (= That carpet needs to be cleaned.)

Note that we do not use want in polite offers or requests.

● Would you like some help? (NOT Would you want some help?)
