Vocabulary Learning

💡 The 'Want' Pattern

When we talk about things we desire, we use Want + To + Action.

Example from the text:

  • "Josh Allen wants to talk about football."
  • "He wants to explain the game."

How it works: Person \rightarrow wants \rightarrow to \rightarrow action verb


🛑 How to say 'No' (The Not-Want)

To say you do not desire something, we use does not want to.

Example from the text:

  • "He does not want to be mean."

Quick Tip: Use does not for one person (He/She/Josh) and do not for many people (They/We).


⏳ Now vs. Later

Notice how the story changes time:

  • Future/Dream: "He wants to talk..." \rightarrow (Something for later)
  • Right Now: "Josh is a great player." \rightarrow (Something true today)
