💡 The 'Want' Pattern
In this text, we see a very useful way to describe goals and desires.
The Rule: Person/Group + want + a thing (or to do something).
1. Wanting a thing
- Some leaders want a law...
- They want permission...
2. Wanting to do an action
- They want the law to say...
- They want to stop the noise...
Quick Guide for A2:
- I want used for me.
- They want used for a group of people.
- He wants (Notice the -s) used for one man/woman.
Examples from the story:
- Netanyahu wants the religious parties to help him. (One person = wants)
- Some leaders want a law. (Many people = want)
