Hi Jay,

Which do you think it is and why?

Also - as this question is not linked to anything written previously in this thread, why have you added it here instead of starting a new topic?

I have wanted (or I have been wanting?! -- is that good grammar?)


So far as I know, you can say "I have been wanting to..." or "I have been meaning to...". I remember reading about this in a grammar book.

Thanks Tort,

I was questioning it because I was taught a long time ago that 'want' is one of those so called 'state/stative' verbs which cannot be used in the continuous aspect. I have heard "I have been wanting to..." many times though, so I am unsure about it.
I know that some verbs are both stative and dynamic depending on their meaning -- I guess 'want' could be one of them...
