💡 The 'Want' Pattern

In this text, we see a very important word for beginners: Want.

It tells us about a person's goals or desires. Look at how it works:

  • They want to help... \rightarrow (Action)
  • They want things to cost... \rightarrow (Result)
  • Some members still want... \rightarrow (Thing)

Easy Rule: Person + Want + Goal

Quick Examples from the Story:

  • New leaders \rightarrow want \rightarrow lower costs.
  • Hakeem Jeffries \rightarrow wants \rightarrow teamwork.
