Key Grammar Structures

• Here is a fun song to help you learn the days of the week

  ➔ Inversion after adverbial phrases (Here + verb + subject), purpose clause ('to help you learn')

  ➔ The sentence starts with "Here is", inverting the usual subject-verb order for emphasis. The phrase "to help you learn" is an infinitive of purpose, explaining *why* the song exists.

• Let's listen

  ➔ Imperative sentence with 'Let's' (suggestion/invitation)

  ➔ 'Let's' is a contraction of 'Let us' and suggests a joint action. It functions as a polite imperative.

• Repeat after Mother Hen

  ➔ Imperative sentence with prepositional phrase of direction.

  ➔ This is a direct command telling the listener to mimic what Mother Hen says. "After" indicates the order in which to act.

• Let's sing it quietly.

  ➔ Adverb of manner modifying the verb in an imperative sentence using 'Let's'.

  ➔ "Quietly" modifies the verb "sing," indicating how the action should be performed.

• Well done!

  ➔ Exclamatory sentence with past participle as adjective.

  ➔ "Done" acts as an adjective describing the implied subject (the singing), and "well" modifies "done" as an adverb. The entire phrase expresses praise.
