TOEIC Grammar Lesson - How To Use Want and Need in the Causative

How do we use want and need in the causative?

There are a variety of English grammar patterns that are tested on the TOEIC® exam. The causative form of want and need often appears in Part V and Part VI. 

We use the pattern want or need, followed by a thing, followed by a PP verb to mean “require” or “demand.”

• That customer wants her complete order shipped no later than Aug 1st
• The boss needs this work finished by tomorrow.
• The employees want their salary deposited into their bank accounts twice a month.

👉 Keep in mind the best way to remember this grammar or any grammar or vocabulary in English is to take the word or phrase, write it in a sentence that's true for you or true in your world, and then memorize your sentences.

👉 You can even take your sentences and write them in the comments below. I would love to see your examples.
