🛠️ THE 'WANT' PATTERN

In this story, we see a very useful word for A2 students: Want.

How it works: Person \rightarrow want \rightarrow to do something

Examples from the text:

  • He wanted to go to Chicago.
  • He wanted to visit the office.
  • He wanted to see his partner.

Wait! What happened to the 's'?

  1. Past (Yesterday): We use wanted. (He wanted to go) \rightarrow It already happened.

  2. Present (Now): We use wants. (Senator Grassley wants to know) \rightarrow He wants it right now.

Quick Rule: If it is one person (He/She/Patel) and it is happening now, always add the -s.
