Key Grammar Structures

• every place that i can afford comes with a roommate who is a freak

  ➔ Relative Clause

  ➔ The phrase "that I can afford" modifies "every place". It provides additional information about the places the speaker can afford. The relative pronoun "that" introduces the clause.

• you're interested that sounds great i'd love to live at warren's

  ➔ Indirect Speech/Reported Speech

  ➔ "That sounds great" is a response echoing the initial question. "I'd love to live at Warren's" expresses a conditional willingness, using "would" to indicate politeness and enthusiasm.

• oh wait wait is he the guy that asked you for naked pictures of me

  ➔ Embedded Question

  ➔ The phrase "is he the guy that asked you for naked pictures of me" is a question embedded within a larger statement. The word order is typical of a statement (subject-verb) rather than a direct question.

• you know that you love her again you re-love her

  ➔ Repetition for Emphasis/Intensification

  ➔ The repetition of "love her" as "re-love her" emphasizes the speaker's belief that Ross still has feelings for Rachel. The prefix "re-" is used to highlight the renewed nature of the feeling.
