Introduction

Leaders from Russia, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE talked on the phone. They want to make the Strait of Hormuz safe again.

Russia wants ships to move freely again. Russia wants Iran and Arab countries to be friends. They want the US and Iran to talk and stop the war. Saudi Arabia also talked to Egypt. They are worried about oil and money. They want to work together to stop the problems.

Conclusion

🚢 The "Want" Pattern

In this text, we see a very common way to say what people need or desire: [Person] + want + [Thing/Action].

Look at these examples:

  • Russia wants ships to move → Russia desires this.
  • They want the US and Iran to talk → This is their goal.
  • They want to work together → This is their plan.

💡 Easy Rule for A2: When talking about one person or one group (He, She, Russia, The US), add an -s to the word:

  • I want
  • You want
  • Russia wants →\rightarrow (Single country = add 's')
  • They want →\rightarrow (Many people = no 's')

Quick Word Swap: Instead of saying "want," you can use "hope for" to sound more natural when talking about peace.
