Hi, "want' is followed by a noun, and "want to" is followed by a verb. "want" + noun: I want something. I want a new bike. I want pizza. I want coffee. "want to" + verb: I want to do something. I want to buy a new bike. I want to eat pizza. I want to drink coffee. I hope that helps!

"to" is part of a verb in the infinitive form. "I want to do something" I = pronoun (subject) want = verb to do = verb in infinitive form something = noun (object) in spoken English, colloquially, we sometimes drop the last part of the infinitive verb, if it's understood. So a conversation like this: A: Do you want to swim? B: Yes, I want to swim. is usually said: A: Do you want to swim? B: Yes, I want to! (B did not need to say swim, A already knows what word comes next!) So you will often hear "to" at the end of a sentence, like "I want to". But it's incorrect English, just that we shorten this kind of sentence when speaking casually.

'To' é parte do infintivo em inglês Veja estes exemplos... Eu quero... + infinitivo ou substantivo. ....aprender inglês. ....melhorar meu inglês. ....um café. I want... + infinitive or noun. ...to learn English. ...to improve my English. ...a coffee. Mas, o assunto é um pouco diferente quando se usar certos verbos conhecidos como 'verbos modais'. Tais como: will, would, should, must, can, could, may, might. Neste caso o infintivo é usado sem a palavra 'to'. Veja o seguinte. I must... I can.... I will.... I should... ...learn English. ...improve my English. Este assunto pode parecer um tanto confuso. Espero que esta explição deixe o assunto um pouco mais claro. Caso contrário, entre em contato comigo.
