Key Grammar Structures

• We do it for love

  ➔ Simple Present Tense

  ➔ The simple present tense "do" is used here to describe a general truth or a habitual action, indicating that 'doing it for love' is a constant state or a regular practice for the subjects.

• Let’s not be afraid together

  ➔ Imperative (Suggestion with "Let's")

  ➔ "Let's" is used to make a suggestion or proposal for an action that includes the speaker and the listener(s). Here, it's a negative suggestion, urging mutual courage.

• My voice is getting louder

  ➔ Present Continuous Tense + Comparative Adjective

  ➔ The phrase "is getting" indicates an ongoing process or a gradual change. "louder" is the comparative form of the adjective 'loud', showing an increase in volume.

• Like a child looking for their mother

  ➔ Simile + Present Participle functioning as an adjective

  ➔ The phrase "Like a child" introduces a simile, comparing the speaker's action to that of a child. "looking" is a present participle used here to describe the child, functioning adjectivally (similar to a reduced relative clause: 'a child who is looking').

• This moment we saved each other

  ➔ Reduced Relative Clause (Object Relative Pronoun Omission)

  ➔ This is a reduced relative clause where the object relative pronoun (that/which) is omitted. The full clause would be 'This moment **that/which** we saved each other', functioning adjectivally to describe 'moment'.

• In a world where the spell is broken

  ➔ Relative Clause with "where" + Passive Voice

  ➔ "where the spell is broken" is a relative clause modifying 'world', indicating the place. Within this clause, "is broken" is in the passive voice, emphasizing the state of the spell (that it received the action of breaking).

• Even if the world laughs at us

  ➔ Concessive Clause ("Even if")

  ➔ "Even if" introduces a concessive clause, indicating a condition that might be true but does not prevent the main action or statement (in this case, 'the reason not to be afraid'). It highlights a strong contrast.

• The reason not to be afraid

  ➔ Infinitive Phrase modifying a Noun

  ➔ The infinitive phrase "not to be afraid" functions adjectivally, specifying or explaining what kind of 'reason' it is. It tells us the purpose or nature of the reason.

• Even shattered glass seems to glisten

  ➔ Past Participle as Adjective + Verb "seem" + Infinitive

  ➔ "shattered" is a past participle used as an adjective, describing the state of the glass. "seems to glisten" uses the verb 'seem' followed by an infinitive, indicating appearance or impression.
