Verb INSTILL and infinitive at the end of a sentence

[Jesus]

Hi, How is it going?
Have a marvelous Saturday! Thanks in advance!

Two questions:

1.- "Instill" When I use this verb I don?t know
if I really need the preposition plus the object.

"My parents instilled Christian values IN ME".

Can I say "My parents instilled Christian
values"?. It?s supposed that it?s me
to whom they instilled Christian Values,
isn?t it?

Shouldn?t it be maybe "My parends instilled
ME Christian values"?


2.- "They forced me to do things I didn?t
want (to do)"

Is it possible to omit the infinitive "To do"
in this sentence and meaning the same thing?

Sometimes I?ve also heard to say:

"They forced me to do things I didn?t
want TO". The verb is not at the end
of the sentence. Is it correct?

Which one is the best?

See you!

1-- Instill requires the preposition (in, into) + object if referral to the instillee is to be clear; there is no necessary supposition.

My parents instilled me with Christian values -- this is OK.

2.- "They forced me to do things I didn?t want (to do)"

The to (do) is required here because the verb want can also be used with a noun object (I want a sandwich)

"They forced me to do things I didn?t want TO". The verb is not at the end of the sentence. Is it correct? -- This is fine.

Which one is the best? -- I would put the do on the end.
