🛠️ The 'Want' Pattern
When we talk about goals or desires, we use wants to. Notice how the 's' is added when we talk about one person (He/She).
- Burnham wants to change... (Goal 1)
- He wants to move... (Goal 2)
- He wants to open... (Goal 3)
A2 Tip: Always put 'to' after 'want' if another action follows it. Wrong: He wants change. Right: He wants to change.
