Learning

The 'Want' Pattern

In this text, we see a very useful word for A2 learners: Want.

It shows what a person desires or needs. Look at how it changes based on the person:

The Boss $\rightarrow$ wants (He wants rich people to invest)
Jon Rahm $\rightarrow$ wants (He wants to play)
Other players $\rightarrow$ do not want (They don't want to go back)

Quick Rule:

1 Person (He/She/The Boss) $\rightarrow$ Wants
Many People (They/Players) $\rightarrow$ Want

Usage Tip: To talk about an action, use: Want + to + Verb

Example: Want to play, Want to go, Want to find.
