💡 The Power of "Wants to"

In this story, we see a pattern: Person + wants to + action.

This is how you tell someone about a dream or a plan. It is very simple!

Examples from the text:

  • Amanda Knox wants to do a comedy show.
  • She wants people to hear her story.

How to use it yourself:

  • I want to learn English. →\rightarrow (My goal)
  • He wants to go home. →\rightarrow (His goal)

🛠️ Simple Past: The "-ed" Ending

When we talk about things that are finished (like 2007), we often add -ed to the action word.

  • died (from die)
  • killed (from kill)

Watch out! Some words change completely. They don't use -ed:

  • Go →\rightarrow Went ("Amanda went to court")
  • Say →\rightarrow Said ("The police said")
