Like sering juga digabungkan dengan would (would like) untuk mengekspresikan Want / ingin / keinginan. Would like lebih sering digunakan  dalam percakapan sehari-hari karena  untuk mengekspresikan kesopanan. Dalam pengucapan atau penulisan would like umumnya disingkat menjadi I'd like.
Perhatikan contoh di bawah ini untuk memahami perbedaan antara want dan would like.

Penggunaan Want	Penggunaan Would like (lebih sopan)
I want to meet my friends with you today.	I’d like (I would like)  to meet my friends with you today.
I want a cup of coffee and a slice of bread with scrambled egg for my breakfast.	I’d like (I would like) a cup of coffee and a slice of bread with scrambled egg for my breakfast.
They want to meet you Michael.	They’d like (They would like) to meet you Michael.
The children want to see the film tonight Mrs Marlin.....	The children would like to see the film tonight Mrs Marlin....

Perhatikan penggunaan di atas, kata want bisa digantikan dengan would like untuk mengekspresikan keinginan.

Dalam penggunaannya kata want bisa digabungkan dengan kata benda :
I want her
I want him
I want them

Tetapi tidak bisa menggunakan would like + kata benda :
I would like her
I would like him
I would like them
Pada kalimat di atas would like + kata benda bukan mempunyai arti "Aku ingin dia / mereka" tetapi diterjemahkan "Aku akan suka dia / mereka"
