💰 The "Want" Pattern

In this text, we see one word used over and over: Want.

For an A2 learner, this is the most useful tool for expressing a desire or a need. It is a simple 'action word' that connects a person (or a team) to a thing.

How it works:

  • [Person/Group] →\rightarrow want →\rightarrow [Thing]

Examples from the story:

  • Liverpool →\rightarrow want →\rightarrow Yan Diomande.
  • They →\rightarrow want →\rightarrow to pay money.
  • He →\rightarrow wants →\rightarrow a new striker.

💡 A Simple Rule for 'S'

Notice that the word changes slightly depending on who is talking:

  1. They / Clubs / Many teams →\rightarrow want
  2. He / She / A manager →\rightarrow wants (Add an 's' for one person)
