[Grammar] I didn't fancy driving home in the storm so I stayed overnight in a hotel.

Hello!
I was studying and I saw this exercise. I was wondering if I could use want instead of fancy? Doesn't the word fancy have the same meaning of want in this sentence?

I didn't ...... driving home in the storm so I stayed overnight in a hotel.

• -fancy
• -desire
• -prefer
• -want

Thanks!!

"Fancy" is correct there. It is mostly BrE. I don't use the word that way, but it is acceptable. If you were to use "want" there, you would have to change "wanting" to "want to" and "driving" to "drive".

Thanks a lot.

You're welcome, but it not necessary for you make an additional post to say "thanks". Just click on the "like" or "thank" button to communicate that.
