📖Story

SCENE 1 ― At Home

👩

妈mā妈ma

小xiǎo明míng，来lái！

Xiao Ming, come here!

👦

小xiǎo明míng

好hǎo！

OK!

👩

妈mā妈ma

你nǐ想xiǎng吃chī苹píng果guǒ吗ma？

Do you want to eat an apple?

👦

小xiǎo明míng

我wǒ想xiǎng吃chī。我wǒ也yě要yào喝hē水shuǐ。

I want to eat it. I also want to drink water.

✨Grammar Point

想xiǎng + action = want to ~

To say what you want to do, use 想xiǎng + an action word. To say "don't want to," use 不bù想xiǎng.

①我wǒ想xiǎng去qù。(I want to go)
②我wǒ不bù想xiǎng去qù。(I don't want to go)

要yào = want ／来lái・做zuò

要yào + thing / action = "want something / want to do something." 来lái = come, 做zuò = do / make.

①我wǒ要yào喝hē水shuǐ。(I want to drink water)
②你nǐ来lái！(Come here!)

🎮Let's Try!

🙋 I want to ~!

Say what you want to do using "我wǒ想xiǎng~。"

我wǒ想xiǎng吃chī苹píng果guǒ。(I want to eat an apple)

我wǒ想xiǎng去qù学xué校xiào。(I want to go to school)

🤔 想xiǎng？要yào？

Which one do you use?

want to ~ (action)→想xiǎng

want something (thing)→要yào
