Ovviamente si possono utilizzare i verbi to
want to, to wish, to desire, to hope per
descrivere ciò che si vuole. Ma si può
anche ricorrere anche a un verbo ausiliare, che così
perde completamente il proprio valore
semantico originale.
verbo
esempio
will
Will you come to my place and have a cup of tea?
would
(querer)
I would go to the Carribbean, if I had the money.
would rather
(preferir)
He would rather be outside and enjoy the sun instead of being at work.
would
like to (querer)

Con verbi pieni modali si descrivono desideri in questo modo.

to wish
