💡 The 'Power' of Want

In this story, we see a pattern: Someone + want(s) + something.

This is the best way for a beginner to express a desire or a goal.

Look at these examples from the text:

  • Government wants new rules. \rightarrow (They desire a change)
  • Chip Roy wants to change visas. \rightarrow (This is his goal)
  • Leaders want to stop immigrants. \rightarrow (This is what they wish for)

⚠️ Simple Rule for A2: If it is one person (He, She, Chip Roy), add an -s: He wants \rightarrow

If it is many people (They, Leaders), no -s: They want \rightarrow
