Key Grammar Structures
-
Avancer droit, perdre son temps
➔ Infinitive as a noun
➔ Here, "Avancer" and "perdre" are infinitives functioning as nouns, acting as subjects of implied verbs like "c'est" (it is). It is implicitly "It is to advance straight, it is to waste time".
-
Aimer à mort, sans respirer
➔ Adverbial phrase using 'sans' + infinitive
➔ "Sans respirer" (without breathing) is an adverbial phrase that modifies the verb "Aimer à mort" (to love to death). 'Sans' indicates the absence of something.
-
Même quand j'ai tort, je suis là, j'arrête pas
➔ Subordinating conjunction 'même quand' + subjunctive (in some contexts, but indicative 'ai' here)
➔ "Même quand" (even when) introduces a subordinate clause. Typically, "quand" requires the subjunctive mood when expressing uncertainty or hypothetical situations, but here the indicative "ai" (from "avoir") is used because it expresses a real situation. "J'arrête pas" is an informal way of saying "Je n'arrête pas" (I don't stop).
-
Cesse le sommeil
➔ Inversion in imperative sentences
➔ Instead of saying "Le sommeil cesse", which is the normal subject-verb order, the verb and subject are inverted for emphasis in the imperative form. It is equivalent to "Que le sommeil cesse" or simply "Cessez de dormir".
-
L'espoir qui joue, le feu, le froid
➔ Relative pronoun 'qui'
➔ "Qui" is a relative pronoun that refers back to "l'espoir" (the hope). It introduces a relative clause that describes "l'espoir".
