💡 The 'Want' Pattern
In this text, we see a very useful way to talk about goals and needs using the word want.
How it works:
Person/Group + want + Thing/Person
Examples from the news:
- Teams want new coaches. (General)
- The Oilers want Bruce Cassidy. (Specific person)
- They want a new player. (Specific thing)
A2 Quick Tip: When you talk about yourself, use want. When you talk about a group (like a team), also use want.
- I want a coffee. The team wants a win.
