Vocabulary Learning
🌍 Talking about 'Wanting'
In this story, we see a very useful word for A2 students: Want.
It is used to describe goals and desires. Look at how it changes depending on who is talking:
- He wants → "He wants peace"
- Parties want → "Some other parties want to work with Russia"
The Pattern: When you talk about one person (He/She/It), add an -s. When you talk about many people (They/We), keep it as want.
⚡ The 'Action' Bridge
To move from A1 to A2, you need to connect two actions. We do this using to:
WANT TO ACTION
- Wants to work with the USA
- Want to vote for someone
Quick Tip: Never say "He wants work." Always say "He wants to work."
