⚡ The 'WANT' Pattern

In this text, we see a very useful way to talk about goals and needs using the word want.

How it works:

  • Person/Team \rightarrow want \rightarrow Thing/Action

Examples from the text:

  • Arizona wants to win (Goal: winning)
  • Baylor wants a better defense (Goal: a new thing)

Simple Rule for A2:

  1. If you want a thing \rightarrow I want coffee.
  2. If you want to do something \rightarrow I want to sleep.

📦 Word Pair: GOOD vs. BETTER

Notice how the text describes the teams:

  • Good: A high level. ("They have a good quarterback.")
  • Better: Higher than before. ("Baylor wants a better defense.")

Use Better when you are comparing the present to the past or comparing two different things.
