Key Grammar Structures
-
I smile to hide, saying I'm alright
➔ Infinitive of purpose (to hide) + present‑participle clause (saying) used as a reduced adverbial.
➔ The infinitive "to hide" expresses the purpose of the smile, while "saying" is a present participle that forms a reduced clause meaning "while I am saying...".
-
I didn't know 何も知らなかった私を
➔ Past simple negative with auxiliary did + base verb (didn't know).
➔ "didn't know" is the negative form of the past simple; the auxiliary "did" is followed by the base verb "know".
-
You never said goodbye
➔ Simple past negative with adverb of frequency (never).
➔ "never" is placed before the past verb "said" to emphasise that the action did not happen at any time.
-
Cause I'm always the good one right?
➔ Tag question (right?) added to a declarative sentence for confirmation.
➔ "right?" is a tag question that turns the statement "I'm always the good one" into a request for agreement.
-
You did cross the line (Line), I was always blind (Blind)
➔ Emphatic do + past verb (did cross) for strong assertion.
➔ "did cross" uses the auxiliary "did" for emphasis, stressing that the crossing really happened.
-
I cannot forgive you, —give you, —give you
➔ Modal verb (cannot) + infinitive (forgive) expressing ability/possibility.
➔ "cannot" is a modal verb that negates the ability to "forgive"; the infinitive "forgive" follows directly after the modal.
-
I don't know if I'm ready or not
➔ Indirect yes/no question introduced by "if" after a verb of knowing.
➔ "if" introduces an indirect question "if I'm ready or not" following the verb "don't know".
-
I have become stronger
➔ Present perfect (have become) indicating a change that has relevance to the present.
➔ "have become" is the present perfect form of "become", showing that the speaker's strength has increased up to now.
-
I don't wanna write this song, honestly
➔ Informal contraction "wanna" = "want to" + infinitive.
➔ "wanna" is a colloquial reduction of "want to"; it is followed directly by the infinitive "write".
-
思い出したくないのに消えない
➔ Japanese "verb‑ないのに" expresses a contrast: "although I don't want to…".
➔ "思い出したくない" means "don't want to remember"; "のに" adds the meaning "even though/although" to the whole clause, resulting in "even though I don't want to remember, it won't disappear".
