Key Grammar Structures
-
If someone were to break in here in the middle of the night wanting to murder us, they would attack this bed first.
➔ Second conditional (were to + infinitive)
➔ The structure **"were to"** + infinitive forms a hypothetical situation in the present or future, followed by **"would"** + base verb for the result.
-
You’re saying that you want me to get murdered first in front of you?
➔ Indirect question + want + infinitive (object + to‑infinitive)
➔ The clause **"you want me to get murdered"** uses **"want"** followed by an object (**"me"**) and a **to‑infinitive** (**"to get murdered"**) to express the speaker’s desire about someone else’s action.
-
I’m waiting for the right opportunity, okay?
➔ Present continuous for future intention
➔ The verb phrase **"am waiting"** is in the present continuous, but it refers to a planned action that will happen later – a common way to talk about future intentions.
-
I didn’t ask for 12 pints.
➔ Simple past negative with auxiliary *did* + base verb
➔ In **"didn’t ask"**, *did* is the past‑tense auxiliary; the main verb stays in its base form (**"ask"**) after the negative contraction.
-
What kind of sociopath abandons her family in some vomit‑soaked dump to gallivant around the world?
➔ Relative clause (implicit "that"/"who")
➔ The phrase **"what kind of sociopath abandons"** contains an implicit relative pronoun (the subject of the clause). It functions like **"what kind of sociopath **that** abandons…"**.
-
We haven't quite found your aunt Moren's ashes, but we know they're here somewhere.
➔ Present perfect negative
➔ **"haven’t found"** uses *have* + past participle (**found**) to indicate an action that has not been completed up to the present moment.
-
Would it be possible to get a cot or a roll‑away bed put in the room?
➔ Polite request using "Would it be possible..."
➔ The modal **"would"** combined with **"be possible"** forms a very polite way to ask for something, softening the request.
-
Please, everyone, stay calm.
➔ Imperative mood
➔ The verb **"stay"** is in the base form without a subject, giving a direct command to the listeners.
-
I thought it was the shoes.
➔ Past simple reporting verb + that‑clause (omitted "that")
➔ The verb **"thought"** is a reporting verb in the simple past. The complement clause **"it was the shoes"** follows it directly, with the conjunction **"that"** omitted, which is common in informal speech.
-
If you could get us some whitener for the coffees?
➔ Polite request with "could" in a conditional clause
➔ The modal **"could"** softens the request, and placing it after **"If"** creates a polite, tentative question rather than a direct command.
