USA Wants Germany to Pay More for Medicine

⚡ The 'Want' Pattern

In this text, we see a very useful way to talk about goals or needs: Want + Person + To + Action.

How it works: Instead of just saying "I want coffee," we describe what we want someone else to do.

• Example from text: "They want Germany to pay more money."

Break it down:

1. They (The person who has the wish) $\rightarrow$
2. want (The feeling) $\rightarrow$
3. Germany (The person who must act) $\rightarrow$
4. to pay (The action) $\rightarrow$

Try these similar A2 patterns:

• I want you $\rightarrow$ to help me.
• The boss wants us $\rightarrow$ to work fast.
• She wants him $\rightarrow$ to call her.

📦 Word Swap: 'Goods'

The text mentions "German goods." In simple A2 English, goods = things that a company sells.

• Cars $\rightarrow$ goods
• Phones $\rightarrow$ goods
• Medicine $\rightarrow$ goods
