To share a wish, use this simple formula:
Quiero que + subjunctive verb.

For example:

(This means "I want you to speak Spanish well.")

Using Indirect Object Pronouns

You can also emphasize who you’re talking about:
"Quiero te dar un consejo."
(This means "I want to give you advice.")

Agreement in Gender and Number

It’s important that adjectives and pronouns match:
Ella desea que sus amigos vengan.
(This means "She wishes for her friends to come.")
