Key Grammar Structures

• I just wasn't looking where I was going, but I'm great actually.

  ➔ Past Continuous (wasn't looking) to describe an action in progress in the past.

  ➔ The use of the past continuous "wasn't looking" emphasizes the action was ongoing and incomplete at a specific time in the past. It provides context to why the speaker is now 'great actually'.

• The Northuldra follow magic, which means we can never trust them.

  ➔ Use of 'which' as a non-defining relative clause, introducing additional information about the previous statement. 'Never' as an adverb of frequency expressing a complete absence of trust.

  ➔ The 'which' clause provides an explanation for why they cannot be trusted. 'Never trust' is a strong statement emphasizing the speaker's absolute conviction.

• Magic makes people feel too powerful, too entitled.

  ➔ Use of "makes" as a causative verb: "make" + object + base form of verb/adjective. "Too" + adjective to indicate excessiveness.

  ➔ "Makes people feel" shows that magic causes people to have certain feelings. The use of "too" emphasizes the speaker's negative perception of these feelings.

• Fear is what can't be trusted.

  ➔ Use of a 'what' clause as the subject of the sentence. 'Can't be trusted' is a passive construction using a modal verb.

  ➔ The "what" clause functions as a noun phrase, defining what is untrustworthy. The passive voice emphasizes the state of being untrustworthy rather than who is doing the trusting.

• Let not discuss this here, let's meet on the fjord, have tea, find a solution.

  ➔ Imperative mood (Let not discuss... let's meet...) for giving instructions or making suggestions. Use of 'let's' (let us) for making a suggestion involving the speaker and others.

  ➔ 'Let not discuss' is a slightly archaic form of negative imperative, more formal than 'Don't let's discuss'. 'Let's meet' is a common, friendly way of suggesting a course of action.
