Default the verb "want you to"

Dear teacher,

I am looking for sentences / exercises to teach my pupils how to use the verb "want to" in the meaning of I want somebody to do something for me.
I have been searching on the net, but I haven't yet found anything about this verb.
Please, can you help me?
Thank you very very much in advance.
Kind regards,
Ans Kwak
