🏀 The 'Want' Pattern

In this text, we see a very simple way to talk about needs and desires. It is the most useful tool for an A2 student to express what they wish for.

The Pattern: Person/Group \rightarrow want \rightarrow Thing/Person

Examples from the text:

  • NBA teams \rightarrow want \rightarrow better players
  • The Miami Heat \rightarrow want \rightarrow him
  • Boston \rightarrow wants \rightarrow a tall player
  • The Lakers \rightarrow want \rightarrow new shooters

💡 Quick Tip: When talking about one team (Boston, Detroit), add an -s to the word: wants. When talking about many teams, just use want.
