Learning
🎯 The 'Want' Pattern
In this text, we see a very useful way to talk about goals and needs using the word want.
How it works:
Person/Group → want → Object/Action
Examples from the story:
- The club → wants → new players.
- They → want → to keep Amad Diallo.
- Chelsea → want → Xabi Alonso.
Quick Rule:
- Use wants for one person or one club (The club wants...).
- Use want for many people (They want...).
