The 'Want' Pattern

In the text, we see: "Merab wants his title back" and "Conor wants to win again."

When you talk about a person (He, She, Merab, Conor), add an -s to the word want.

How to use it:

  • Person + wants + thing \rightarrow He wants a trophy.
  • Person + wants + to [action] \rightarrow She wants to fight.

Simple Past: The 'Ed' Rule

Look at these words from the story:

  • Prepared
  • Watched

To talk about things that already happened, we often just add -ed to the end of the action word.

Example:

  • Today \rightarrow I watch TV.
  • Yesterday \rightarrow I watched TV.
