Vocabulary Learning
🟢 The 'Want' Pattern
In this story, we see a simple way to talk about desires: [Person/Group] + wants + [Thing/Person].
- Liverpool wants to buy Bradley Barcola.
- Arsenal wants new players.
- Rangers does not want to sell Barron.
Wait! Why the 's'? When talking about one club (Liverpool, Arsenal, Rangers), we add an -s to the action word (want → wants).
💰 Money Words
To describe price in English, we use the word cost.
Barcola costs a lot of money Expensive
He costs more than £115 million Very Expensive
Simple Rule: If the price is high, we use 'more than' to show the limit.
🛠️ The 'But' Pivot
Use the word But to change the direction of a sentence. It connects a good thing to a bad thing (or vice versa).
- Barron is very good... BUT He had two knee injuries.
- Other clubs want him... BUT Rangers says no.
