⚡ The 'Want' Pattern
In this story, we see a simple way to talk about desires: Want + Object.
- They want new players.
- They want to buy good players.
How it works:
If you want a thing, just put the thing after 'want'.
→ I want coffee.
→ The team wants money.
The Twist:
If you want to do something, use Want + to + Action.
→ They want to buy (Action: buy)
→ I want to sleep (Action: sleep)
🕒 Now vs. Later
Look at these two different ways to describe the players:
- Right now (Present): He is a very good young player.
- In the future (Will): He will play with Auston Matthews.
Rule of thumb: Use 'is' for what is true today. Use 'will' for what happens tomorrow.
He is fast → He will be fast
