	Yankee  +  960174 Mon, 02 Nov 09 10:57 PM No. To build the simple past tense of a verb in a negative sentence, you use did+not+base form of the verb So, your sentence is correct this way: - I did not want him to come.

(The main verb remains in the bare infinitive form.) I do not want him to come. She does not want him to come. I did not want him to come. We did not want him to come. The same is true of questions: Do you want him to come? Does she want him to come? Did they want him to come?

I did not want him to come. - Right. CJ CalifJim Joined on Mon, Aug 2 2004 California Veteran Member 22,385 "There are no facts, only interpretations" - Nietzsche
