⚡️ The 'Action' Pattern

In this text, we see how to talk about what people or groups want or do right now. This is the heart of A2 English.

1. Simple Wants When a group has a goal, we use: [Who] + want(s) to + [Action]

  • AAP \rightarrow wants to stay
  • BJP \rightarrow wants to fight

2. Present Habits (Things they do often) Notice how we describe the parties using simple present verbs:

  • They give free electricity.
  • They say they help.
  • Congress is checking its work (this is happening right now).

3. Key 'Power' Words If you want to reach A2, replace vague words with these clear ones found in the text:

  • Instead of 'do' \rightarrow use Prepare (get ready)
  • Instead of 'fix' \rightarrow use Strengthen (make stronger)
  • Instead of 'try' \rightarrow use Fight (compete)
