Key Grammar Structures

• we have new should I knock on your

  ➔ Conditional Clause (Type 0/1) & Tag Question

  ➔ The phrase implies a habitual action ('we have new...') followed by a question about whether to perform an action ('should I knock...'). The 'should' introduces a conditional element. The incomplete sentence suggests a conversational, fragmented style.

• oh by the way my last name isn't Chen it's yang

  ➔ Corrective Clause & Pronoun Substitution

  ➔ The phrase uses 'by the way' as a discourse marker to introduce a correction. The structure 'isn't X, it's Y' is a common way to provide accurate information, replacing the incorrect assumption ('Chen') with the correct one ('Yang').

• I'm gonna be sitting close to you and I'll be looking after you

  ➔ Future Continuous & Future Simple

  ➔ The use of 'gonna' (going to) indicates a planned future action. 'I'm gonna be sitting' uses the future continuous to emphasize the duration of the action. 'I'll be looking after' uses the future simple to express a promise or intention.

• you're expecting a dude I'm saying someone need to teach you how to introduce yourself

  ➔ Informal Speech & Modal Verb + Infinitive

  ➔ The sentence uses colloquial language ('dude'). 'Need to' is a modal verb construction expressing necessity. The phrase 'teach you how to...' demonstrates a complex infinitive structure.

• if it is not holding this picture in my hand I cannot believe any of those memories I have in my mind

  ➔ First Conditional & Negative Imperative

  ➔ This sentence uses a first conditional structure ('if...I cannot'). The 'holding' is a present participle acting as a gerund, creating a complex conditional clause. The sentence expresses a strong dependence on a physical object to validate memories.
