Key Grammar Structures
-
based on the gandi rappers and the bags of junk food I see in this trash I thought the person working here was 10 years old
➔ Past Perfect Continuous/Past Simple Contrast
➔ The phrase implies a prior assumption (thinking someone was 10) based on observations. The 'junk food' and 'rappers' led to a conclusion in the past. The use of 'thought' in the past simple indicates a completed thought that may or may not be true.
-
you're dating somebody who is is it what what are you talking about
➔ Tag Question & Repetition for Emphasis/Confusion
➔ The 'is is' is a stuttering tag question, seeking confirmation. The subsequent 'what what' demonstrates confusion and disbelief. The repetition highlights the speaker's surprise.
-
it's because you keep trying to stick pencils in it
➔ Present Continuous for Repeated Action/Habit
➔ The phrase 'keep trying' with the present continuous indicates a habitual action. It's not happening *right now*, but it's something the person repeatedly does. 'it' refers to 'cleavage'.
-
you only watch what you eat when you're afraid you might have to take your shirt off
➔ Conditional Sentence (Type 1) - Real/Likely Condition
➔ This is a Type 1 conditional: 'If you are afraid you might have to take your shirt off, then you watch what you eat.' The 'when' clause functions similarly to 'if' in this context, indicating a likely scenario.
