⚡ The 'They want' Pattern

In the text, we see this: "They want big changes." "They want to stop the police."

When you describe what people desire or need, use: They + want + [thing/action]

Simple Examples:

  • They want coffee → (A thing)
  • They want to sleep → (An action)

Why this helps you reach A2: Instead of using complex words for 'desire' or 'hope,' stick to want. It works for almost every basic situation.

Quick Look: The 'Too' Modifier Look at: "too different"

When something is 'more than okay' or 'more than normal,' add too before the describing word:

  • Too hot 🥵
  • Too expensive 💸
  • Too different ↔️
