How it works: Person/Group + wants + Thing/Action

Examples from the text:

  • The USA \rightarrow wants Iran to destroy weapons.
  • Iran \rightarrow wants its money back.
  • Israel \rightarrow wants to keep soldiers.

Instead of saying 'The USA changes its mind', you can use these simple A2 words:

  • Change \rightarrow Make it different.
  • Agree \rightarrow Say 'Yes' to the same idea.
  • Deal \rightarrow A promise or a business agreement.

⚠️ Simple Warning: 'Still'
