A sentence using 'wanting'.
Hi Everyone,
I know that 'want' is a non-continuous verb. We can't say, "I am wanting a new dress."
However, I'm just checking to see if we can use 'wanting' in any type of situation that I might have missed.
I have a new class and non-continuous is on the cards, yet again.
Thanks,
CC.

'Want' is not normally used in the continuous aspect. However, If we wish to show that the 'wanting' is off limited duration, we can use that aspect. q=%22are+wanting+to%22&l=0&t=0&ffo=false&findid=-1&ff=
