💡 THE 'WANT' PATTERN
In this text, we see a very useful way to talk about desires and goals. Look at how the word want works:
- Some leaders wanted new rules.
- They wanted police to use cameras.
- They wanted judges to sign papers.
The Simple Logic:
Person → wanted → Thing/Action
Quick Guide for A2 Beginners:
- Past Time: We use wanted (with an -ed) because the story is about a law that already happened.
- The Action: Notice that after "wanted," we can put a noun (rules) or a person doing something (police to use cameras).
Daily Use Examples:
- I wanted a coffee. → (Noun)
- I wanted you to call me. → (Person + Action)
