Key Grammar Structures

• you didn't order fries so so you can't order crispy fries without first ordering fries

  ➔ Conditional sentences (first conditional) & emphatic repetition

  ➔ The sentence uses a first conditional structure: "If you don't order fries, you can't order crispy fries." The repetition of "so so" and "fries" emphasizes the rule being enforced. The structure is *if + present simple, can + infinitive*.

• why not because you can't make something crispy that doesn't exist

  ➔ Rhetorical question & existential clause

  ➔ The phrase "why not" is used as a rhetorical question, expecting the answer to be obvious. The clause "something crispy that doesn't exist" uses a relative clause to define something that is impossible, highlighting the absurdity of the request.

• you will never change will you

  ➔ Tag question (negative tag with a positive statement)

  ➔ This is a tag question used to seek confirmation or express the speaker's belief that the statement is true. The negative tag "will you" is added to the end of the positive statement "you will never change".

• is everything okay do you have a sister
