Digital Singers in the Music World

Introduction

Some famous music groups want to use digital images to perform again.

Main Body

The Spice Girls might use digital images for their 30th birthday. They did not agree on a real tour. Now, they want to try a virtual show to make more money. Other groups like Queen and KISS also like this technology. They want to use big screens to show their music. Some people use this for singers who are dead, like Elvis Presley. Not all singers like this. Elton John says he does not want a digital version of himself after he dies.

⚡ The 'Want' Pattern

In this text, we see a very common way to talk about desires. To reach A2, you must master this simple connection:

Person + want(s) + to + action


Examples from the text:

  • They want to try a virtual show.
  • They want to use big screens.

How to change it:

  • For one person (He/She/Elton John) \rightarrow add an -s \rightarrow He wants to...
  • For many people (They/We) \rightarrow no -s \rightarrow They want to...

The 'No' Version (Negative):

  • I do not want to... $
  • He does not want to... (Notice: the 's' moves to does, so want stays simple!)
