⚽ The 'Want' Pattern

In the text, we see a very useful way to talk about needs and desires: Want + To + Action.

  • The club wants to keep...
  • They want to buy...
  • He wants to stay...

How it works: If you want to do something, use this simple chain: Personwant/wantstoaction.

Quick Tip:

  • Use want for I, You, We, They.
  • Use wants for He, She, It (like 'The club').
