⚡ The 'Want' Pattern

In this story, the word want appears many times. It is the easiest way to talk about your goals or desires.

How it works: PersonwantThing/Action

Examples from the text:

  • The Rams want Aaron Donald... (The team wants a person)
  • They want him to help... (The team wants an action)
  • He may not want to play... (A person does not want an action)

Quick Rule for A2: If you talk about one person (He, She, The Coach), add an -s: → Coach McVay wants to talk.


🕒 The 'Will' vs 'May' Difference

The article shows us two ways to guess the future:

  1. Will (Sure/Strong) \rightarrow The team will wait.
  2. May (Maybe/Not sure) \rightarrow He may not want to play.

Simple Tip: Use May when you are guessing. Use Will when you are sure.
