'I want to go home now'
I want to go home now.
I think that now modifies go but I am still confused that some teacher now modifies want there.
I think that it is better for now to be put close to want like Now, I want to go home or I now want to go home to say now modifies want.
What do you native English speakers think?
Thank you so much as usual in advance!
