Explaination
When we say “I want to” with a verb, any additional actions must match the structure of the first verb.For example:
❌ Incorrect: “I want to wake up and don’t be tired.”
✅ Correct: “I want to wake up and not feel tired.”Why?
• “I want to” starts with the infinitive form (“to + verb”), so the second action must continue in the same way.
• “Don’t be tired” is a command, which doesn’t match the structure of “to wake up.”Examples:
- ❌ “I want to relax and don’t stress.”
✅ “I want to relax and not feel stressed.” - ❌ “I want to study and don’t fail the test.”
✅ “I want to study and not fail the test.”
Rule:
When you list actions after “I want to,” make sure they match the same verb form to keep the sentence smooth and correct. 😊
