Key Grammar Structures

• I'm checking my vital signs

  ➔ Present Continuous Tense

  ➔ Uses the present continuous ('am checking') to describe an action happening now or around now. It indicates a temporary or ongoing action.

• Don't care for the critics

  ➔ Imperative Sentence (Negative)

  ➔ Uses 'Don't + verb' to express a negative command or strong advice. It directly tells the listener (or oneself) *not* to do something.

• My words are like physics

  ➔ Simile

  ➔ Uses 'like' to compare two unlike things, highlighting a shared quality. Here, words are being compared to physics, implying they have force and impact.

• I'm not done till I'm on top

  ➔ Conditional Clause (Time)

  ➔ Uses 'till' (until) to express a condition of time. The action in the main clause ('I'm not done') will continue up to the point in time specified in the conditional clause ('I'm on top').

• We are the warriors, who learned to love the pain

  ➔ Relative Clause

  ➔ Uses 'who' to introduce a relative clause that provides additional information about the noun 'warriors'. It defines *which* warriors are being referred to.

• We come from different places but have the same name

  ➔ Compound Sentence

  ➔ Connects two independent clauses ('We come from different places' and 'have the same name') using the coordinating conjunction 'but'. 'But' indicates a contrast between the two clauses.

• Watch as our fire rages, our hearts are never tame

  ➔ Imperative with Subordinate Clause

  ➔ Starts with the imperative 'Watch', followed by a subordinate clause introduced by 'as'. The imperative invites the listener to observe the action described in the subordinate clause. 'As' here means 'while' or 'during the time that'.

• The moves that you make ya they come with mistakes

  ➔ Informal Language/Ellipsis

  ➔ Demonstrates informal language use with 'ya' (short for 'you') and ellipsis (omission of words). The second 'they' is somewhat redundant grammatically, but adds emphasis in a colloquial manner. A more formal version would be 'The moves that you make come with mistakes.'
