Vocabulary Learning
⚡ THE 'WANT' PATTERN
In this text, we see a very useful way to talk about goals and desires: Want + To + Action.
How it works:
When you desire to do something, you use this simple formula:
SMELL WANT TO ACTION
Examples from the story:
- They want to keep their lead.
- They do not want to wait.
- The Cowboys want a better defense. (Here, 'want' is used with a thing, not an action).
Quick Guide for A2 Students:
- Action: "I want to play."
- Thing: "I want a ball."
- Negative: "I do not want to wait."
Vocabulary Spotlight: 'Good' vs 'Better'
