Is that sentence true?
|
I have seen a t-shirt for a little baby. I really liked its colors but there was a sentence on it that I am not sure if it is true:/
I want to my farm.
I think it is wrong but I wonder if there is a usage I don �t know. Can you help me please?

To want is a transitive verb.
I want some bread.
In this sentence there is no object for the verb which makes it grammatically incorrect but if you want to find out whether or not it is semantically correct, you need to ask a native speaker.
Have a good night.

Hi
May be it is not wrong, may be you missed some visual info, something like this:
I want to XXXXXXXX to my farm, and there could be some graphic in substitution of some word or idea. ( I want to go to my farm / I want to work on my farm ... just a possibility.
Otherwise, I would say it �s wrong.

Thanks Linda, there is no picture, no graphic in substitution of a verb, just a picture of a deer :)

Hi again
Could it be some trick between deer and dear ... ?
Or....
Could it REALLY be a big mistake.
It happens a lot here, where I live, there are many ( ??? - some , a few, just one or two ) textile factories, working by copying everything around.... sometimes they copy and SELL big, huge mistakes.
A few months ago I sent a notice to one of my students �s mother to come and see me, because of what was written on her t-shirt.
Obviously, the mother had no idea........
Dear, have a nice day
Nice to meet you
Linda
