たいですが

“It takes great goals to lead us out of our everyday limits into accomplishing more than we ever thought we could or would.” – Robert Cooper

Here’s one more previously-learned grammar that you can use to practice が as “but” with. If you remember, たい form is treated like an adjective, that means it is followed by です. So, you’ll be following that with が.

a すしを食べたいですがお金がありません。
I want to eat sushi but I don’t have money.

a 東京とうきょうに行きたいですが仕事しごとがあります。
I want to go to Tokyo but I have work.

a あの映画えいがを見たかったですがブラッドピットさんが大嫌きらいです。
I wanted to watch that movie but I hate Brad Pitt.

So do you have any things that you want / wanted to do, but didn’t for one reason or another? Come up with three examples and put them into Japanese. Feel free to use the above sentences as reference, but try to come up with ones that don’t use the same verbs, at least. If you want them corrected, of course, put them into Lang-8.
