Questions: 人 want(s) だれだれ to [verb]

List of prompt questions using the infinitive e.g. "I want everyone to know this fact." (New Horizon 3)

This is a list of prompt questions using the infinitive form of verbs. These may be used for quizzes, worksheets, paired speaking, a small talk with a JTE etc.

These were written for use in third-grade JHS classes using New Horizon 3 and the Key Sentence "I want everyone to know this fact." on page 38. It's described in the textbook as "want + (人など) + to + 動詞の原形 "


  • What do your parents want you to be?
  • What do your parents want you to do at home? (chores)
  • What band/singer do you want to come to [your town]?

More challenging questions, possibly for longer-form written response and discussion:
