Explanation
Programmes: a nature programme, a sports programme, a music programme, a comedy, a cartoon, a horror film. Question: “What programmes do you like?” — “Cartoons and sports programmes.” Reason: “I like cartoons because they are fun.” On a schedule: “What’s on Channel 4?” Wanting to watch: “I want to watch a cartoon on Channel 5 at half past six.” About another person: “My partner wants to watch ...”. Remember: he/she wants. We watch TV for a limited time and choose programmes with our parents.
