Salut Phoebe,

To avoid the risk of being accused of asking for homework help, you should give a link to which kwiziq question or lesson that is the source of your query.

The verb to use in this case would be vouloir  --  I meant to say  --> je voulais dire ...

I wanted to say  --> J'ai voulu dire ...

Bonne continuation

Jim
