💡 The 'Want' Pattern
In this text, we see a simple way to say what someone needs. Look at how the states ask for things:
- Himachal Pradesh wanted a new member.
- They wanted land.
- Punjab wanted a new water link.
How it works:
Person/Group wanted Thing
Why this helps you reach A2: Instead of using hard words like "requested" or "demanded," you can use want/wanted to express a need in almost any situation. It is the fastest way to be understood in English.

- Present: They want land. (They need it now)
