⚡ The "Want" Pattern

In this text, we see a simple way to talk about goals.

The Rule: Person/Group + want + thing/person

Examples from the story:

  • Teams → want → fast players
  • The Raiders → want → a new wide receiver
  • The Dolphins → want → to give more money

🛠️ Word Building: 'Strong'

Look at how the word strong describes different things:

  1. Strong defense (Good at stopping the other team)
  2. Strong team (Good at winning games)

A2 Tip: Use "strong" when something is powerful or very good at a specific job.
