💡 The 'People' Patterns
In this story, we see how to describe groups of people. For A2, you need to move from simple words to more specific groups.
1. General Specific
- People (Everyone)
- Poor people (People with no money)
- Voters (People who vote in elections)
- Workers (People who have jobs)
- Judges (People who make court decisions)
2. Simple 'Want' Sentences Look at how the text describes goals. It is always: [Who] + want + [to do something].
- They want to use this list...
- The government wants to stop...
Quick Tip: If it is one person/thing (Government), use wants. If it is many people (They), use want.
