Grammar:

• Do you love the rain, does it make you dance

  ➔ Use of auxiliary verb 'do' for questions; Present Simple Tense

  ➔ The auxiliary verb "do" is used to form questions in the Present Simple tense. "Does" is used for the third-person singular (it). The main verb is in its base form (love, make).

• When you're drunk with your friends at a party?

  ➔ Use of "when" clause with the verb "to be" + adjective

  ➔ The phrase "When you're drunk..." uses the conjunction "when" to introduce a time clause. "Are" is the present tense of "to be" for the second-person singular/plural "you", followed by the adjective "drunk".

• What's your favorite song, does it make you smile?

  ➔ Shortened form of "What is"; Question with auxiliary verb 'does'

  ➔ "What's" is a contraction of "What is". "Does it make you smile?" utilizes 'does' for question formation in the simple present with a third-person singular subject.

• I'd spend 10,000 hours and 10,000 more

  ➔ Conditional Sentence Type 2 (mixed with future intention); use of "would" ('d) as the auxiliary verb

  ➔ "I'd spend" is a contraction of "I would spend", indicating a hypothetical or conditional situation. Type 2 conditionals often express unreal or unlikely situations in the present or future.

• Oh, if that's what it takes to learn that sweet heart of yours

  ➔ Conditional "if" clause; "that's what it takes" (idiomatic expression)

  ➔ This line includes the conditional conjunction "if", introducing a hypothetical situation. The phrase "that's what it takes" is an idiom meaning "that is necessary".

• And I might never get there, but I'm gonna try

  ➔ Use of modal verb "might"; use of "gonna" (going to) for future intention; conjunction "but"

  ➔ "Might" expresses possibility or uncertainty. "Gonna" is a colloquial abbreviation for "going to", indicating a future plan or intention. "But" introduces a contrast between the possibility of failure and the intention to try.

• If it's 10,000 hours or the rest of my life

  ➔ Conditional clause (Type 1 or Zero Conditional); use of 'it's' (it is)

  ➔ This line presents a conditional situation using the word "if." "It's" is the contraction of "it is." The implication is whether the time required is a specific amount (10,000 hours) or an indefinite amount (the rest of my life). It suggests a determination to continue regardless of the time commitment.
