Key Grammar Structures
-
我肯定在几百年前就说过爱你
➔ Past experiential perfect with 过 + early‑time marker 就
➔ The verb phrase ""说过"" marks an action that the speaker has *already said* love at some point in the past. "就" emphasizes that it happened *as early as* a few hundred years ago.
-
只是你忘了我也没记起
➔ Concessive conjunction 只是 + parallel negative structure with 也 + 没
➔ ""只是"" introduces a concession (‘but’). The pattern ""也没"" creates a parallel negative clause, meaning ‘you forgot, and I also didn’t recall.’
-
走过路过没遇到
➔ Verb‑object compound with 过 + negative result with 没
➔ ""走过"" and ""路过"" both contain the experiential particle "过", indicating past traversal. ""没遇到"" (negative) shows that despite passing by, no encounter occurred.
-
回头转头还是错
➔ 还是 used to express “still/again” with adjective 错
➔ ""还是"" indicates that after turning back, the situation remains the same – “still wrong.” It adds the sense of persistence or repeated error.
-
我都一直记着啊
➔ Adverbial intensifier 都 + progressive marker 一直
➔ ""都"" emphasizes that the speaker, without exception, has been ""一直"" (continuously) remembering. It stresses totality and continuity.
-
肯定在几百年前就说过爱你
➔ Adverb 肯定 expressing certainty + time phrase + 就
➔ ""肯定"" signals that the speaker is sure about the statement. The phrase ""几百年前"" provides a distant past time reference, and ""就"" stresses that the action happened early.
-
我都一直记着啊
➔ Reduplication of progressive aspect with 记着
➔ ""记着"" (to keep in mind) combined with ""一直"" creates a strong progressive sense – ‘have been constantly remembering.’ The repetition stresses persistence.
-
只要你愿意,我就会
➔ Conditional clause with 只要 + result clause with 就会
➔ ""只要"" means ‘as long as.’ The sentence pairs it with ""就会"" (will) to form a conditional meaning: ‘If you are willing, I will ….’
