Key Grammar Structures
-
DON'T CALL ME NOW
➔ Negative imperative
➔ The verb "call" is used in the base form after the negative word "don't" to give a direct command not to do something.
-
‘CAUSE I'M BETTER OFF WITHOUT YOU
➔ Comparative adjective with "better off" + preposition "without"
➔ "BETTER OFF" is an idiomatic comparative meaning "in a more favorable situation"; the preposition "without" introduces the person whose absence improves the situation.
-
I DON'T NEED YOU AROUND
➔ Stative verb "need" + object + adverbial complement
➔ "DON'T" shows negation; "need" is a stative verb that does not take a continuous form, followed by the object "you" and the adverbial "around" indicating location.
-
DON'T NEED NO ONE TO HOLD ME DOWN
➔ Double negation (colloquial) + infinitive of purpose
➔ The phrase uses two negatives "don't" and "no one" for emphasis, which is typical in informal speech; "to hold" is an infinitive expressing the purpose of "no one".
-
I KNOW, I KNOW, I WON'T, I WON'T
➔ Present simple for repeated facts + future simple "won't"
➔ "KNOW" is in the present simple to show a general, repeated state of knowledge; "WON'T" is the contracted form of "will not", expressing a future refusal.
-
NOW THAT YOU'RE BACK, NO SYMPATHY, YEAH
➔ "Now that" clause (temporal conjunction) + present continuous
➔ "NOW THAT" introduces a cause‑effect relationship meaning "since"; the verb "are" in "you'RE" is in the present continuous to describe a current situation.
-
SEE YOUR NAME LIGHT UP MY PHONE
➔ Verb of perception + object + bare infinitive
➔ "SEE" is a perception verb; after it the object "your name" is followed directly by the bare infinitive "light" which describes the action observed.
-
I WON'T GO BACK TO BEFORE
➔ Future simple negative "won't" + verb + prepositional phrase "to before"
➔ "WON'T" (will not) expresses refusal in the future; "go back" is the main verb phrase, and "to before" is a prepositional phrase indicating the point in time the speaker refuses to return to.
