Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The 'Want' Pattern
In this text, we see a very useful way to talk about goals using Want + Person + To + Action.
How it works:
- Coach May wants the players to work hard.
- Coach DeVries wants a stronger team.
Why this helps you (A2 level): Instead of just saying "I want coffee," you can now tell people what you want others to do.
Simple Examples: → I want you to listen. → My teacher wants me to study. → She wants him to help.
