Vocabulary Learning
🎯 Focus: Talking about Wants
In this story, we see a pattern: Someone + wants + something.
- Luka wants a center.
- Luka wants players.
- LeBron wants to stay.
The Simple Rule: When we talk about one person (He, She, Luka, LeBron), we add an -s to the word want.
Quick Examples:
- I want → He wants
- You want → She wants
- They want → The team wants
Different Ways to Use It:
-
Want + Object (Noun): Luka wants a great center. (He wants a thing/person)
-
Want + to + Action (Verb): LeBron wants to stay. (He wants to do something)
Memory Hack: If there is only one person doing the wanting, the word want needs its "friend" (the letter s) at the end → Wants.
