I want to spend time

Question

Why is "Je veux que je passe" not acceptable?

Cécile Janty-Davies · Accepted Answer

Hi Frank, 
You would only use vouloir que when you have two different subjects in the clauses -

Je veux qu'elle donne ... = I want her to give ...
Il veut qu'ils arrivent = He wants them to arrive

etc.
When the subject is the same person you will use

Je veux donner = I want to give
Il veut arriver = He wants to arrive

Hope this helps!

Hello Frank!I noticed a typo on Cécile's answer but I couldn't figure out how to reply to her directly. I quoted the section below:"When the subject is the same person you will use Je veux donner = He wants to give"Shouldn't Je veux donner = I want to give?Many thanks!
