Key Grammar Structures

• how dare you everything was going perfectly and now you do this

  ➔ Exclamatory sentence structure, present continuous 'was going' for past progressive action, use of 'dare' as an exclamation.

  ➔ The sentence expresses strong disapproval. The phrase "**was going**" indicates a continuous action in the past that was interrupted.

• maybe you can fool these people but I know who you are

  ➔ Modal verb 'can' expressing possibility, conditional clause structure, pronoun 'who' as a relative pronoun.

  ➔ This sentence contrasts the perception of others with the speaker's knowledge. "**who you are**" is a noun clause functioning as the object of 'know'.

• wait a minute I didn't lie I came back

  ➔ Imperative 'wait', past simple negative 'didn't lie', simple past 'came back'.

  ➔ The speaker is protesting an accusation. "**didn't lie**" is a strong denial. "**came back**" provides evidence to support the denial.

• and wasn't there something about being bound for all eternity

  ➔ Inversion for emphasis ('wasn't there'), gerund 'being', prepositional phrase 'for all eternity'.

  ➔ This is a rhetorical question recalling a previous agreement or curse. The inversion "**wasn't there**" draws attention to the question. "**for all eternity**" emphasizes the permanence of the binding.
