➔ "Đang" indicates the action is **in progress** at the moment of speaking.
-

➔ Comparative structure using "hơn" (more) with a question particle "chưa" (not yet?).
➔ "Hơn" adds the meaning **more**, while "chưa" turns the statement into a **question** about whether it has happened yet.

Không còn anh, bao điều vẫn tốt như xuân
➔ Contrastive structure with "không còn" (no longer) followed by a statement of continuity.

-
Nếu trái tim ta chung nhớ đông đầy
➔ Conditional clause with implied "thì" and a noun phrase "đông đầy" (full of winter).
