⚡ The 'Want' Pattern

In this story, we see a very common way to talk about goals and desires.

The Rule: Person/Group + want + Thing/Action

Examples from the text:

  • Teams \rightarrow want to win
  • Dylan Larkin \rightarrow wants a new team

💡 Simple Tip: Use "wants" (with an 's') when talking about one person (He/She/Dylan). Use "want" when talking about many people or 'I/You/We/They'.
