Vocabulary Learning
🧩 The 'Want' Pattern
In this story, we see a very useful word for A2 learners: Want.
It is used to talk about a desire or a goal. Here is how it works:
Person Want Thing/Action
- They want him to be the leader. (Goal: A new person in charge)
- He wants to change parties. (Goal: A new group)
- They want to win all seats. (Goal: Victory)
💡 Quick Rule: If the person is one (He/She/Raja), add an -s wants. If the people are many (They/Some people), use want.
Vocabulary Note:
- Fix to make something better (e.g., fix jobs).
- Alone without other people (e.g., work alone).
