πŸ’‘ The 'Want To' Pattern

In this text, we see a very common way to talk about goals and desires. When a person or a group has a plan, we use: Want + to + action.

Examples from the text:

  • The government want to help young people.
  • They want to change taxes.
  • Some people want to stop this plan.

πŸ› οΈ How to build it:

Subject β†’\rightarrow want(s) to β†’\rightarrow Verb (action)

Try these simple swaps:

  • I want to buy a house.
  • He wants to win the vote.
  • We want to have a better life.

Quick Note: If you talk about one person (He/She/The Government), add an -s to want β†’\rightarrow wants.
