Vocabulary Learning

⚡ THE 'WANT' PATTERN

In this story, we see a very common way to talk about desires. To reach A2, you need to master how to connect a person to an action.

The Formula: Person + wants + to + Action

Examples from the text:

  • He wants to help people. \rightarrow (He has a wish to help)
  • He wants police to protect his family. \rightarrow (He wants someone else to do something)

🕒 NOW vs. BEFORE

Look at how the story changes from the present to the past. This is the secret to A2 storytelling:

  1. Now (Present): Harry is visiting. (Current state)
  2. Before (Past): Harry wanted to stay. (Finished wish)

Key Change: Just add -ed to the end of the action word to move the story into the past.

  • Want \rightarrow Wanted
