Key Grammar Structures

• I know...

  ➔ Present simple (stative verb) used to express a fact or mental state.

  ➔ The verb "know" is in the present simple to show a current mental state.

• That's who I am

  ➔ Demonstrative pronoun + copular verb ‘to be’ forming a clause that identifies the subject.

  ➔ The phrase "who I am" is the complement after the copula, identifying the speaker.

• Peel back the layers

  ➔ Imperative mood – base form of the verb gives a direct command.

  ➔ The base verb "Peel" is used without a subject to issue a command.

• I want to shine now

  ➔ Verb ‘want’ + infinitive – expresses desire for an action.

  ➔ The infinitive "to shine" follows the verb "want" to show what is desired.

• Bright as the sun

  ➔ Simile using the pattern ‘as … as’ to compare qualities.

  ➔ The word "as" introduces the comparison, linking "Bright" with "the sun".

• Born to give

  ➔ Past participle used adjectivally + infinitive of purpose.

  ➔ The participle "Born" describes a state, and "to give" explains the purpose of that state.

• Full of bliss

  ➔ Adjective followed by a prepositional phrase ‘of …’ indicating content.

  ➔ The preposition "of" links the adjective "Full" with the noun "bliss".

• Ever knowing

  ➔ Present participle used as an adjective (adjectival participle).

  ➔ The word "knowing" functions as an adjective, modified by the adverb "Ever".

• Love undying

  ➔ Noun + post‑positive adjective (adjective placed after the noun).

  ➔ The adjective "undying" follows the noun "Love", creating a poetic expression.
