Key Grammar Structures

• You make me "wanna" sing another love song

  ➔ causative verb + infinitive (make + object + verb)

  ➔ "make" is followed by an object "me" and the bare infinitive "wanna sing" to express that someone causes another person to do something.

• I’m "gonna" be right back

  ➔ future with "going to" (informal contraction)

  ➔ "gonna" is the informal spoken form of "going to" and is used to talk about a planned future action.

• I don’t know "what it is"

  ➔ negative indirect question

  ➔ "what it is" functions as a noun clause after the verb "know" in a negative statement.

• "When" I hear your name, suddenly I just gonna say

  ➔ time clause with "when" + present simple

  ➔ "When" introduces a subordinate clause that uses the present simple "hear" to talk about a repeated or habitual action.

• "You’re" smiling just for me

  ➔ present continuous for current action

  ➔ "You’re" is the contraction of "you are" followed by the verb ending in "-ing" to indicate an action happening now.

• "If" you love somebody, sing it with me

  ➔ first conditional (if + present simple, imperative)

  ➔ "If" introduces a realistic condition; the result clause uses the imperative "sing" to give a suggestion.

• "Ain’t got no" game, babe

  ➔ double negative (colloquial)

  ➔ "Ain’t" is a colloquial negative verb and "no" adds another negative, creating a double negative that still conveys a negative meaning.

• "It started" from the day you appeared

  ➔ past simple passive voice (verb + -ed)

  ➔ "Started" is the past simple form of "start", indicating an action that began at a specific time in the past.
