Hi All,

Just wanted to know if the usage of the word wanting in the below sentence is correct:

Please rephrase the sentence as appropriate, if needed. Also, using both wanting and wanted sounds repetitive to me. Can this be avoided?

Many thanks

It is correct, but you could always replace ‘wanting’ with ‘wishing’ to avoid the repetition.
