Don't want/ help
Message from sabrina1011 posted on 24-10-2013 at 08:02:53 (D | E | F)
Hello everyone,

I have a new question below.
What is the difference between the following two sentences?
1. My mom doesn't want us to play computer games.
2. My mom want us not to play computer games.
Thank you for your answers.
Sabrina

Hello,

we usually prefer to express it in the second way.
In addition,there is no difference between them,I think.

Hello,
both ways are correct but the second phrase should be written ( wants us not to play )
