The Power of "WANTS TO"

In this story, we see a pattern that helps you talk about goals and future plans.

The Rule: When a person has a wish or a plan, we use: Person + wants to + Action.

Examples from the text:

  • Hungary wants to be friends...
  • He wants to change the laws.
  • He wants to stop people...
  • He wants to make hospitals better.

Simple Breakdown:

  • To = The bridge to the action.

Quick Change: If the person is 'I', 'You', 'We', or 'They', remove the 's':

  • I want to help.
  • They want to fix the laws.

Vocabulary Match:

  • Change → To make something different.
  • Fix → To make something a better version (correct a problem).
