🚩 The 'Want To' Pattern
In this text, we see a very common way to talk about goals or desires.
The Pattern: Person + want to + action
- Andrew Hastie want to fight...
- Tony Abbott want to work...
- The government want to limit...
Why this helps you (A2): Instead of using complex words for 'desire' or 'intention,' just use want to. It is the fastest way to tell someone what your plan is.
Quick Shift If the person is just one man or woman (He/She), add an 's':
- He wants to show...
⚖️ Opposites in the Story
To reach A2, you need to describe conflicts. Look at these two opposite actions from the article:
- Fight To be against someone.
- Work with To be on the same side.
Example: "Some leaders fight the party, but others work with them."
