字幕列表 影片播放 列印英文字幕 Another day of work complete, and oh boy, does teaching work up an appetite. I'm starving. (Alternatives to "I want.") Mmm, I think I'm in the mood for spaghetti. An alternative to I want is, "I'm in the mood for something." Such as, "I'm in the mood for sushi," or "I'm in the mood to do something." Like, "I'm in the mood to go shopping today." According to the Cambridge English Corpus, "I'm in the mood for" is twice as common than "I'm in the mood to do something." But "I'm in the mood for" is less often negated than "I'm in the mood to do something." Normally, people say, "I'm not in the mood to clean today." Or maybe I feel like Japanese food. Also, instead of saying, "I want," you can say, "I feel like something." Such as, "I feel like pizza today." Or "I feel like doing something," such as "I feel like cooking today." "Feel like" is 12 times more common than "in the mood for," and 25 times more common than "in the mood to." You can find helpful information like this and lots more on the Cambridge English Corpus, a database of real language. So, how else can you say, "I want"? Tell me in the comments section.
