🎯 Focus: Talking about Wants

In this story, we see one word used many times: Want.

At an A2 level, you can use want to describe goals, desires, or needs. It is the simplest way to say what someone hopes to happen.

How it works:

  1. Person + want(s) + thing

    • AS Roma wants players. → (The club is the person/group)
    • He wants money. → (A specific person)
  2. Person + want(s) + to [action]

    • They want to buy Mason. → (They have a goal to do something)
    • Pellegrini wants to stay. → (He has a wish to remain)

Quick Tip: Add an -s when talking about one person or one club (He wants, She wants, Roma wants). No -s for many people (They want).
