Key Grammar Structures

• The alphabet is filled with consonants and vowels.

  ➔ Passive voice (present simple).

  ➔ The phrase "is filled" is the passive form of the verb "fill", showing that the subject receives the action.

• We write 'em, we read 'em.

  ➔ Simple present tense; coordination with a comma; contraction of "them" to "'em".

  ➔ The verbs "write" and "read" are in the simple present ("We write" / "We read"), showing habitual actions, and "'em" is the contracted form of "them".

• Now, I know my ABC's.

  ➔ Simple present tense with a stative verb (know).

  ➔ The verb "know" is a stative verb, so it appears in the simple present as "I know" to express a current state of knowledge.

• Next time won't you sing with me?

  ➔ Interrogative sentence using the modal "won't" (future invitation).

  ➔ The phrase "won't you sing" uses the modal "won't" (will not) to make a polite request or invitation in the future.

• We start with A, B, C and we go all the way to Z.

  ➔ Simple present with the phrasal verb "go all the way" (to indicate completion).

  ➔ The expression "go all the way" is a phrasal verb meaning to continue until the end; here it follows the simple present "we go".

• Each letter makes a sound.

  ➔ Simple present; third‑person singular verb takes -s.

  ➔ The verb "makes" is the third‑person singular form of "make" used in the simple present to describe a habitual fact.

• Let's sound them out now.

  ➔ Imperative using "let's" (let us) + base verb.

  ➔ The contraction "Let's" stands for "let us" and forms an inclusive imperative, inviting the speaker and listeners to "sound them out".

• Now I know my ABC's, next time won't you sing with me.

  ➔ Compound sentence: present simple + modal "won't" for future invitation.

  ➔ The clause "Now I know my ABC's" uses the simple present to state a current fact, while "next time won't you sing with me" uses the modal "won't" to make a polite future invitation.
