🛠️ The "Want + Action" Pattern

In this text, we see a very simple way to talk about goals and desires. To reach A2, you need to know how to say what someone wants to do.

The Formula: Person/Group + want(s) + to + action

Examples from the story:

  • Both teams want to win... \rightarrow (Their goal is victory)
  • The Devils want to move... \rightarrow (Their plan is to change positions)
  • The Sharks want to make... \rightarrow (Their goal is better defense)

💡 Quick Tip for A2: If the person is one (He, She, The Team), add an -s to the word "want".

  • I want \rightarrow Correct
  • The manager wants \rightarrow Correct

Vocabulary to remember:

  • Rebuilding: Starting over to make something better.
  • Experience: Having done something for a long time.
