Vocabulary Learning
🏀 THE 'WANT' PATTERN
In this text, we see a very useful word: WANT.
When you are at a beginner level, you can use Want + Person/Thing to show a goal or a need. It is the simplest way to talk about desires.
Examples from the text:
- ASVEL wants a new player. (The team needs someone).
- He wants to play in the NBA. (This is his dream).
- He wants the best players. (This is his requirement).
Quick Rule for A2: If you talk about yourself or a friend, use want. If you talk about one person (He/She/The team), add an -s wants.
Compare these two:
- I want a ball. $
- Tony wants a ball.
