⚡ The 'Want' Pattern

In the text, we see: "The team wants to do better" and "He wants to play better."

How to use it: Person + wants + to + action

  • I want to sleep. \rightarrow (My desire)
  • He wants to win. \rightarrow (His desire)

🛠️ Simple Opposites

Look at how the player changed his body:

  • Lose fat \leftrightarrow Gain muscle

If you lose something, it goes away. If you gain something, you get more of it.


🚩 The 'However' Switch

When the story changes direction, we use However.

  • They have new players. \rightarrow (Good news!)
  • However, they need more receivers. \rightarrow (The problem)

Use However when you want to say "but" at the start of a sentence.
