πŸ’‘ The 'Want' Pattern

In this text, we see a common way to say what someone desires: Want + To + Action.

Examples from the story:

  • Trump β†’\rightarrow wants to fire Makary.
  • People β†’\rightarrow want the pill to be harder to get.
  • President β†’\rightarrow wants to help the business.

πŸ› οΈ How to build it:

Person + want/wants + to + verb

Simple Practice:

  • I want to learn English.
  • He wants to go home.
  • They want to eat.

Note: Use wants (with an 's') for one person (He, She, Trump, Makary). Use want for many people (They, We) or 'I'.
