3. 제 친구가 김치를 먹어 보고 싶어해요.

4. 이 책을 읽고 싶어요.

5. 오빠가 축구를 하고 싶어해요.

6. 내일 쇼핑하러 가고 싶어요.

7. 언니는 커피를 마시고 싶어해요.

8. 학생이 집에 가고 싶어해요.

9. 저는 쉬고 싶어요.

10. 삼촌은 새로운 차를 운전하고 싶어해요.

I want to learn Korean.

한국어를 배우고 싶어요. ➡️ 한국어 배우고 싶어요.

You don’t need the object particle "를" after "한국어" when speaking naturally. "한국어 배우고 싶어요" is more casual and natural sounding.

Today, my mom wants to rest.

오늘은 엄마가 쉬고 싶어해요. ✅ Perfect!

My friend wants to try eating kimchi.

제 친구가 김치를 먹어 보고 싶어해요. ✅ Perfect!

I want to read this book.

이 책을 읽고 싶어요. ➡️ 이 책 읽고 싶어요.

"을" is not necessary here; dropping it makes the sentence sound more natural in spoken Korean.

My older brother wants to play soccer.

오빠가 축구를 하고 싶어해요. ➡️ 오빠가 축구 하고 싶어해요.

Same as above—omit "를" for a more natural feel.

I want to go shopping tomorrow.

내일 쇼핑하러 가고 싶어요. ✅ Perfect!

My older sister wants to drink coffee.

언니는 커피를 마시고 싶어해요. ➡️ 언니는 커피 마시고 싶어해요.

"를" can be dropped here too for a more natural tone.

The student wants to go home.

학생이 집에 가고 싶어해요. ✅ Perfect!

I want to rest.

저는 쉬고 싶어요. ✅ Perfect!

My uncle wants to drive a new car.

삼촌은 새로운 차를 운전하고 싶어해요. ➡️ 삼촌은 새로운 차 운전하고 싶어해요.

Again, you can drop "를" to make it sound more natural in everyday Korean.
