The 'Want' Pattern

In this story, we see how to say what someone hopes for using want + to + action.

  • Morocco wants to be first.
  • Haiti wants to get points.
  • Haiti wants to win.

How it works: Person \rightarrow want/wants \rightarrow to \rightarrow action verb

Important Note: When we talk about one person or one team (He, She, Morocco), we add an -s:

  • The coach wants
  • The team wants
