In this video you'll learn about a construction in English which is a bit complex for us, native Spanish speakers: VERB + OBJECT + TO INFINITIVE.
Watch this video for examples and explaination, it'll only take 2 minutes:
I want you to study harder.
I want that you study harder.
Then, the closest structure in Spanish is a Proposición subordinada sustantiva.
Quiero que estudies más.
This is a list of common verbs followed by OBJECT + TO INFINITIVE:
Verbs followed by an object and the to-infinitive
advise allow ask beg cause choose |
command convince enable encourage expect force |
hire instruct invite need order permit |
persuade prepare promise remind require tell |
threaten urge want warn wish would like |
