🎯 The 'Who Wants What' Pattern

Look at these sentences from the text:

  • "Teams want new players."
  • "The Pirates and Royals want good young players."
  • "The Red Sox want good pitchers."

How it works: When we talk about a group (Teams, Pirates, Red Sox), we use want + thing/person.

Simple Rule: Person/Group \rightarrow want \rightarrow something

Examples for you:

  • I want coffee.
  • Students want a break.
  • My friend wants a new car.

In the text: "Many people can watch games..."

Use can when something is possible or allowed.
