💡 The 'Want To' Pattern

In this text, we see a very common way to talk about goals. When you have a wish or a plan, use: Want + to + Action.

Examples from the text:

  • They want to win.
  • Raiders want to keep coaches.
  • Teams want a strong defense (Here, 'want' is used for a thing, not an action).

🛠️ Word Swap: 'New' vs 'Same'

These two words show if things are changing or staying the same. They are opposites!

  • New → Different/Fresh (Example: New coach, New players)
  • Same → No change (Example: Same defensive coaches)
