I don't want you to go there ever.
I don't want you ever to go there.
You are never to go there.
I don't want you ever to go there.
You are never to go there.
What about :
I don`t want you to ever go there?
I don`t want you to ever go there?
I don't want you to go there ever.
I don't want that you go there ever.
Thanks.
The second sentence is correct, though we wouldn't normally phrase it that way in English, at least not in Australia. The first sentence is more common. The last two sentences were not correct because you can't use two negatives in English (don't and never).
Zangoose, are you sure you don't mean "I don't want you to go there ever?"
And SC, depending on who you talk to, infinitives are to never be split
Hi Pnevma,
Yes, I caught the mistake before your post.
But thanks anyway!

Interesting. We just had a discussion recently here on whether they can or connot and most people agreed they can... but that is a different thread.
Yes. 'That' is unnecessary. The ones that I posted above are correct.
Correct, unless you wanted to sound stilted and archaic: "I would that you not go over there."
Now, I can quite believe, he is really confused now.
Ok, I am a little bit comfused...
In a sentence is unnecessary use the word that? like I know that it is.
That's confuse , because in spanish we use the word 'que' while we speak. Example: I know that it is. Yo se que eso es.
That means that in english is always unnecessary to use 'that' in a sentence?
The word in bold its ok? or I did it wrong again?

In English the word "that" is unnecessary in most cases where the Spanish "que" would be necessary. This doesn't mean (that) the sentence is wrong if you add the "that", but it sounds more natural omitted.
So, in most cases the word 'that' is omitted?
But are there some cases where are necessary?
Just remember (that) to play is actually in order to play: is the word 'that' necessary?
She taught (that) when there's an infinitive, to attach it to the end of the infinitive: And here?
