1. Simple Desire

- Pattern: Person → wants → thing/action.
2. Asking others to act
- The Sikh group wants the government to free some prisoners.
- Pattern: Person A → wants → Person B → to do something.
Word Switch: Now vs. Past
Look at how the story changes time. This helps you move from A1 to A2 English.
| Past (Then) | Now (Present) |
|---|---|
| did not say | says/calls |
| were partners | are not partners |
Quick Tip: Use "In the past" to start a sentence when talking about old habits or old rules.
Example: In the past, I did not speak English. Now, I am learning!
