Vocabulary Learning
🥊 The 'Want' Pattern
In this text, we see a very common way to express a wish or a goal.
Pattern: Person + wants + Someone + to do something
Examples from the text:
- Oscar De La Hoya wants Tank Davis to fight Floyd Schofield.
- He wants Ryan Garcia to fight Conor Benn.
Why this helps you reach A2: Instead of just saying "I want water," you can now describe what you want other people to do. This is a big jump in how you speak!
Quick Rule: If the person is one man/woman (He/She/Oscar), add an -s to the word want → wants.
Simple Swap:
- He wants to win. (He does it himself)
- He wants them to win. (He wants others to do it)
