🟢 The 'Want To' Pattern

Look at how the text describes where things are. These are 'bridge words' that help you describe a map:

  • Through \rightarrow moving inside from one side to another ("through different towns").
  • In the way of \rightarrow blocking a path ("bridges are in the way").

Tip: Use 'through' when you talk about traveling across a city or a park!
