Key Grammar Structures

• Just round the corner

• There's a shadow in the dark

  ➔ Existential 'there is/are'

  ➔ This uses the existential "there's" (there is) to introduce the existence of a shadow. It's followed by a singular noun phrase.

• Got a feeling it's the devil

  ➔ Reduced relative clause/ Omission of 'that'

• Lord knows that much is true

  ➔ Subject-Verb Inversion (for emphasis)

  ➔ While 'Lord knows that much is true' sounds natural and common, it is inverting the standard Subject-Verb order for emphasis. The more typical structure would be 'Lord knows that much is true', but inverting draws more attention to "that much".
