Tip: intend is a verb. She intends to win the election. What did you intend? Paul intended not to lose.
Intent is a noun. That is her intent.
Intent is also a verb: She is intent on winning the election.
You wanted "intent" as a noun in both your usages above.
- billme 6y agoThanks, agree that’s a typo; unfortunately I am unable to fix it since editing is now locked, but appreciate you taking the time to point it out.
- tchaffee 6y agoI don't think intent is a verb. It is either a noun or adjective. In the sentence "She is intent on winning the election" the verb would be "is" and "intent" is an adjective that describes her. Compare: His program focused on dinosaurs. (verb) His program is focused on dinosaurs. (adjective describing his program). You would never say "his program intented on dinosuars" because it's not a verb.
