SYNONYMS FOR 'WANT' (YEARN): meaning and examples

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Daily Vitamin. I hope everyone had a good weekend. 

This week we are going to look at different synonyms for the verb TO WANT.

Our first WANT synonym of the week is: To yearn

Definition: to wish very strongly, especially for something that you cannot have or something that is very difficult to have, or something that one has lost or been separated from.

Example 1: Sometimes she yearns to be alone at the weekend, after working all week with so many colleagues.

Example 2: He yearned for the days when he was at university and had more free time and fewer worries. 

Is there anything, in particular, that you yearn for? If so, we invite you to write a sentence on one of our social media sites (Facebook or Twitter) with the verb to yearn. We'll give you feedback about your sentence ASAP (as soon as possible).

Enjoy the rest of your day, everyone! 

All the best!
