How do you say "I want to do " in Thai?
I know how to say the following sentence structures in Thai: "I want something" and "I want to do something", but I don't know how to say "I want someone to do something". For example, how would you say, "I want you to go home", or, "I want her to finish speaking"? Google translate says to use ให้, as in ฉันอยากให้เธอกลับบ้าน, but I've learned never to trust Google translate when it comes to Thai! Any help would be appreciated :-)

Answer

I want you to go home. Normally, we don't say I want you to.... But say go home. 
ฉันอยากให้เธอกลับบ้าน   ไม่ค่อยพูดกัน แต่จะพูดว่า (เธอ) กลับบ้านเถอะ while I look at you and say like this.

I want her to finish speaking. อาจจะพูดว่า    ฉันต้องการให้เธอหยุดพูดได้แล้ว If it means speaking that is boring or not interesting or time out something like that.
