So what exactly is the purpose of "ska"? What does one have to look out for to know when to use it?

Would the same sentence be used to express that you don't want someone to suffer at this very moment?

The word order is more like "I don't to you want suffer." Two part question
a. Which word does the "att" belong to? The English version it clearly belongs to "suffer"
b. When can I tell that the "du" goes in between the "att" and the infinitive word?

Thanks, that sort of helps. I think one of the hardest things for me is that Swedish and English are at so different with our uses of att-på-för-om-som... and to-that-if-too-for...

In a similar vein to your translation, would "I do not want that you should suffer" be correct? The sentence is correct in English, albeit a little outmoded, but I should like to know whether I should report it.
