The Power of 'WANT'
In this story, we see how to talk about desires. It is a key step for A2 learners to move from simple facts to feelings.
1. Positive Desire
- "He wanted to stay" → He had a wish in the past.
- "He wants to play" → He has a wish now.
2. Negative Desire
- "He did not want to go" → He had a wish not to do something.
Quick Tip: The Connection Whenever you use want, you usually put "to" before the next action:
Want → to → Action
(Example: Want → to → stay)
