💡 The 'Want' Pattern
In this text, we see how to express desires or dislikes using Want. This is a key A2 skill.
1. Saying YES (Positive)
- Governments want AI.
- Structure: [Person] → want → [Thing]
2. Saying NO (Negative)
- Many people do not want AI data centers.
- Local people do not want the buildings.

Quick Tip: Use do not want when you are talking about more than one person (they/we/people).
