🧩 THE 'ACTION' PATTERN

In this story, we see a simple way to describe what people did or want.

1. Past Actions (Finished) When something happened already, we add -ed to the word:

  • want → wanted
  • speak → spoke (Special word!)
  • thank → thanked

2. Current Goals (Wants) To say what someone wants right now, use: [Person] + want + to + [Action]

  • They want to say thank you.
  • Iran wants to talk.
  • Iran wants to make a deal.

3. The 'If' Rule We use If to show a result:

  • If the deal is good → the war will stop.
  • If there is no deal → the US will drop bombs.
