wollen (preterite-present, third-person singular present will, past tense wollte, past participle gewollt, auxiliary haben)

1. (transitive or intransitive) to want; to wish; to desire; to demand

   Ich will doch nur das Beste. ― I want only the best.

2. (intransitive with dass) to want (someone else to do something)

   Ich will, dass du gehst. ― I want you to go.

3. (auxiliary) to want (to do something)

   Ich will gehen. ― I want to go.

4. (auxiliary) to intend, to mean

• As a modal verb, the past participle gewollt is used when wollen is not used as an auxiliary verb: Das habe ich nie gewollt. (“I have never wanted that.”) However, when used as an auxiliary verb, wollen remains in its infinitive form: Wenn er das hätte sagen wollen, hätte er es getan. (“If he had wanted to say that, he would have done so.”) This is referred to as a "double infinitive" construction.
