Question

When I use "want to" and when I use only "want"? I'm really bad with these simple things 
Be free to corrects me

Answer

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!

Answer

"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.

Answer

'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.
