| "I wanna be give you..." and "I wanna give you..."? Is it a special construction "to be do something"? Last edited by axenovsergey; 20-Dec-2005 at 01:30. |

| There isn't a difference. "wanna be give" is non-standard English. |

| I'd say 'I wanna be give you' is incorrect- certainly in standard English. It might exist is a regional or other variant, but I haven't come across it. You migt have 'I wanna be giving you', which again would be unusual in standard English. |

| A little bit different construction ("would want to be give" vs. "would want to give"): Quote:
Is there any difference in meanings? |

| I think it's a typing mistake that spellcheckers wouldn't catch. 'Be giving' would work in that context, though, so it could be either: Why would we want to give Why would we want to be giving |
