The Power of "WANT"

In this story, people don't just 'do' things; they want things to happen. This is a key word for A2 students to express needs and desires.

How it works:

  • Person →\rightarrow want →\rightarrow Object/Action

Examples from the text:

  1. Zuffa Boxing →\rightarrow wanted →\rightarrow a fight in Las Vegas.
  2. DAZN →\rightarrow wants →\rightarrow to keep the rights.

Quick Rule:

  • Use wants for one person/company (He wants, She wants, DAZN wants).
  • Use wanted when the feeling happened in the past.

Word Swap: "Fight"

Notice how the word fight is used in two different ways here:

  • The Sport: "A fight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury" →\rightarrow (A boxing match)
  • The Argument: "Two boxing companies... are fighting" →\rightarrow (They are disagreeing/angry)

Tip: In English, we use 'fight' for both punching and arguing!
