Japanese

<p>
	If what you want is to perform an action, you must modify the verb in question, rather than use the adjective <strong>ほしい</strong>.
	To do this you must transform the verb into an い-adjective by placing <strong>たい</strong> at the end of the stem of the verb.
	After the verb has been modified in this way, it behaves just like any other い-adjective when you want to conjugate it into the negative or past tense.
	See the examples below to see how this is done.
