🔑 The 'Wants' Pattern

In this text, we see a very useful way to talk about goals and desires. When we talk about people and what they desire, we use Wants.

How it works:

  • One person →\rightarrow wants
  • Many people →\rightarrow want

Examples from the story:

  • "The team wants to win..." (The team is one group)
  • "She wants a new team..." (Charlotte is one person)
  • "The club wants to buy..." (The club is one entity)
