Learning

The 'Want' Pattern

In this text, we see a very common way to say what someone needs or desires.

The Rule: Person + wants + Thing/Action

Examples from the text:

  • Chelsea wants Said El Mala. (Want + Person)
  • Federico Chiesa wants to leave. (Want + Action)
  • Barcelona wants to borrow him. (Want + Action)

Wait! Notice the 's' When we talk about one person (He, She) or one club (Chelsea, Barcelona), we add an -s to the word want.

  • He wants →\rightarrow Correct
  • He want →\rightarrow Incorrect

Quick Word Swap: If you see "does not play," it is the opposite of "plays."

  • He plays →\rightarrow He does not play.
