🛠️ The 'WANT TO' Pattern

In this text, we see a very common way to talk about plans or desires: Want + To + Action.

How it works: Subject \rightarrow want to \rightarrow verb

Examples from the story:

  • Canada \rightarrow wants to build (Plan: New pipes)
  • Canada \rightarrow wants to move (Plan: Oil travel)
  • One company \rightarrow wants to move (Plan: USA export)

Why this helps you reach A2: Instead of just saying "I like" or "I have," you can now explain goals.

Quick Rule:

  • I / You / We / They \rightarrow want to
  • He / She / It \rightarrow wants to (Add the 's')

Vocabulary Bridge

  • Build \rightarrow To make something new (like a house or pipe).
  • Move \rightarrow To go from one place to another.
