💡 The Power of "WANT TO"

In this story, people have goals. To express a goal in English, we use want + to + action.

How it works:

  • They want to know... (Goal: Knowledge)
  • The government does not want to give... (Goal: Keeping a secret)
  • They want a fair trial... (Goal: Justice)

The Rule: Subject \rightarrow want to \rightarrow Verb (Action)

Quick Examples for your life:

  • I want to learn English.
  • I want to go home.
  • We want to eat.

🛠️ Word Swap: "SAY" vs "TELL"

Look at how the article uses these two words. They are similar but different:

  1. SAY \rightarrow Focus on the words. *Example: "The brothers say they are innocent."

  2. TELL \rightarrow Focus on the person receiving the information. *Example: "He might tell the names to the public."

Easy Tip: If you have a person (me, you, the public), use TELL. If you just have a message, use SAY.
