Learning

The 'Ownership' Word: HAVE

In this text, we see the word have used to show what a team possesses or controls. For an A2 learner, this is the most important way to describe a situation.

Examples from the text:

  • "The New York Jets have a new coach."
  • "They have no deal yet."

Simple Rule: Use have when talking about more than one person (They) or a group (The Jets).


Action Words: 'Want' and 'Get'

Notice how the teams are trying to change things. They use these two words to show a goal:

  1. Want \rightarrow Dreaming/Planning

    • Example: "They want a strong team."
  2. Get \rightarrow Receiving/Obtaining

    • Example: "The Denver Broncos got two new players."

Quick Tip: If you are talking about the past, get becomes got.

  • Today: I get a player.
  • Yesterday: I got a player.
