In Spanish, how do I phrase:1. I WANT YOU TO CLEAN. 2. I WANT FOR YOU THE VERY BEST. 3. I WANT YOU.
If you could please explain a little what changes when you are using an infinitive with the verb WANT (when you want someone to do something) and when you WANT something FOR a person.

1. Quiero que limpies.
2. Quiero/deseo lo mejor para ti.
3. Te quiero/te deseo.
To want someone to do something: Querer que + verbo (I want you to come: Quiero que vengas).
To want something for someone: Querer (que) + para + objeto (I want this job for you: Quiero que este trabajo sea para ti / quiero este trabajo para ti).

Hola ESLStephanie, 1. Quiero que limpies tu cuarto. 2. Espero que todo te vaya bien. 3. Te quiero. En 1 y 2 hay que utilizar el subjuntivo.
Es así, Primera persona, María pidiendo a Juan algo. Quiero que me compres una cerveza. The subjunctive is something that English speakers need to study hard, it requires lots of time and effort to fully understand it. There are books that only deal with the subjunctive as it is a very complex subject, my advise is to study it over and over again.
