Grammar Question: want or wanted?

Question

Here are two sentences,

A) I did wanted to go but.... or

B) I did want to go but....

Which is correct? I think B is correct, but I noticed myself saying A awful lots! So.... do you guys also speak like I do?

Answer 1

最佳解答

B is correct

you used "did" (past tense), so the next verb should be in present tense

Or you could just use "I wanted to go but..."

Answer 2

B is correct. Wanted is in past and are often in the end or start of a text, where want is in presence. So I did Want to go but...

Answer 3

B - but still a little awkward unless you're really stressing it by adding 'did.' The best way would simply be 'I wanted to go.'

Answer 4

I did wanted to go? That hurted.

參考資料： I make myself laugh.

Answer 5

It is B and NO ONE speaks like that. tut-tut

Answer 6

both are currect imo.

Answer 7

A maybe idk
