Wanted that

[tufguy]

"He wanted that he died there".

"He wanted that we left as soon as possible".

"He asked that we questioned him".

What is your question?

 

[tufguy]

Are these correct?

 

[Rover_KE]

No.

'He wanted to die there.'

'He wanted us to leave as soon as possible.'

'He asked us to question him.'

 

[GoesStation]

"He asked that we question[STRIKE]ed[/STRIKE] him".

You can follow "he asked that" with the subjunctive, as shown above.

In case it's not quite clear, the "ed" at the end of "questioned" has been crossed out in GoesStation's example sentence above. Sometimes, it's hard to see the "score through" line over bold text.

 

[tufguy]

"He wanted that his friend die there".

"He wanted that we leve as soon as possible".

"He asked that we question him".

Now these are correct right?

 

[Rover_KE]

Only #3 is correct.

 

[Tarheel]

He wanted his friend to die there.
-----------------------
He asked us to leave as soon as possible.

 

[tufguy]

Okay, so it is not correct to use that with all the sentences right? It can onky be used with some sentences because I wanted to know how to write or speak with the word "that"?

 

[Tarheel]

I suppose you can work "that"into those sentences if that is your whole point. I wouldn't do that, but you can do that if you want to.
