Learning
đĄ THE 'WANT' PATTERN
In this text, we see the word want used many times. For an A2 student, this is the best way to talk about goals and desires.
How to use it:
Person â want â something/someone
Examples from the text:
- They want to keep Austin Reaves.
- Other teams want him too.
- The team wants him to be the best.
đ ī¸ ACTION WORDS (Verbs)
Look at how the text describes health and work. These are common 'everyday' words you need:
- Manage (money) â Control how you spend.
- Keep (players) â Not let them leave.
- Practice (shooting) â Do something many times to get better.
- Grow (players) â Become better or stronger.
đ TIME & FUTURE
Notice the word will. We use it for things that happen later.
"He will play in the summer league."
Rule: Will + Action = Future
