⚽ The 'Who Wants What' Pattern

In this text, we see a very simple way to talk about desires and goals. It is the most useful pattern for A2 learners to express needs.

The Formula: Person/Group + wants + Person/Thing

Examples from the text:

  • Many clubs want young players.
  • Liverpool wants him.
  • He wants to go to PSG.
  • Barcelona wants Harry Kane.

💡 Tutor Tip: The 'S' Rule

Notice that we add an -s to the word want because we are talking about one person or one group (He, She, It, Liverpool, Barcelona).

  • One club \text{→} wants
  • Many clubs \text{→} want

Quick Vocabulary Shift: Instead of just want, you can use buy or pay to talk about money in football:

  • City pays \text{→} Money moves from City to another club.
  • City buys \text{→} City gets a new player.
