💡 The 'Wants' Pattern

In this story, we see a very useful word for A2 learners: Wants.

We use it when someone has a desire for something.

Look at these examples from the text:

  • Aiyuk wants a new contract.
  • Aiyuk wants to play for the Commanders.
  • He wants to leave.

How to use it simply:

  1. Wants + Thing \rightarrow He wants a car.
  2. Wants + to + Action \rightarrow He wants to go home.

Quick Note: When we talk about He, She, or It, we always add the -s to the end of 'want'.
