⚡ The Power of "Want to"

In the text, we see this pattern many times:

  • Meta wants to make its AI better.
  • They want to use their own chips.

How it works: Use Want to + [Action] when you have a goal or a wish.

Simple Examples:

  • I want to learn English. → (My goal)
  • She wants to buy a phone. → (Her wish)

🏗️ Building the Future (The "-ing" form)

Look at these words: Making, Building.

When you see Is/Are + [Verb]-ing, it means the action is happening now or these days.

  • Meta is making a chip. → (They are doing it now)
  • They are building centers. → (The work is in progress)

Quick Tip: Just add -ing to the end of the action word to show it is happening!
