HideDid you get it right?
Hi Ange,
thanks for your question.
After "volere che" you need to use the Subjunctive mood, instead of the Indicative. That's why the verb ending is different.
Here's another example:
Voglio che tu finisca i compiti prima di cena = I want you to finish homework before dinner
You can learn more about the Subjunctive in the Grammar Bank, and also in this video: https://www.italianpod101.com/lesson/absolute-beginner-questions-answered-by-marika-22-when-do-you-use-the-subjunctive/
Hope that helps!
