Vocabulary Learning
💸 Talking about Money & Wants
In this text, we see a pattern for talking about desires and costs. This is perfect for A2 learners to describe things they want to buy.
The "Want + To" Pattern
When a person or a team wants to do an action, we use: WANT TO ACTION.
- Arsenal wants to spend...
- Teams want to win...
Comparing Now vs. Before Look at how the text describes a change in behavior:
"They do not look for cheap players like they did before."
Use "like [something] did before" to show that a habit has changed.
Money Words Instead of just saying "money," the text uses specific currency names. Notice the position:
NumberCurrencyNoun- 250 million pounds
- 22 million euros
Quick Tip: "Failed" If a plan does not work, we say the deal failed. It is the opposite of "successful."
