Key Grammar Structures
-
Point final, t'as semé sans sonner
➔ Passé Composé with auxiliary 'avoir'
➔ 'T'as semé' is a shortened form of 'Tu as semé,' meaning 'you sowed.' It uses the Passé Composé to describe a completed action in the past. 'Avoir' is conjugated as 'as' to agree with 'tu' (you).
-
Je passe mon temps à les escalader
➔ Verb + 'à' + Infinitive
➔ The phrase 'passer son temps à' means 'to spend time' doing something. It's followed by the preposition 'à' and an infinitive verb ('escalader').
-
Toi ma beauté, mon addiction
➔ Possessive Adjectives
➔ 'Ma' and 'mon' are possessive adjectives indicating possession. 'Ma' is used before feminine nouns ('beauté'), and 'mon' is used before masculine nouns ('addiction'). Even though 'addiction' starts with a vowel, we use 'mon' because it's masculine.
-
Où tu dis que j'suis coupable
➔ Subjunctive Mood (informal)
➔ Technically, after 'dire que', the indicative mood is expected ('tu dis que je suis'). However, in informal speech, the subjunctive can sometimes be used, though it's less grammatically correct. In this case, the singer uses 'j'suis' instead of 'je sois'.
-
Si tu reviens
➔ 'Si' clause - Present Subjunctive for future possibility
➔ This is a first conditional. When expressing a possible future event, we use 'si' + present indicative, followed by the future simple or imperative in the main clause. 'Si tu reviens' (if you come back), implies a real possibility.
-
Faisons le vide avant que la coupe soit pleine
➔ Subjunctive after 'avant que'
➔ The conjunction 'avant que' (before) always requires the subjunctive mood in the subordinate clause. Therefore, 'la coupe soit pleine' is in the subjunctive mood.
-
Reprends la main, je veux dire la mienne
➔ Pronoun 'la mienne'
➔ 'La mienne' is a possessive pronoun that replaces a noun phrase. In this case, it replaces 'ma main' (my hand). It means 'mine'.
-
Faisons le plein pour fuir loin de la peine
➔ Infinitive of purpose
➔ The infinitive 'fuir' (to flee) is used to express the purpose of the action 'faisons le plein' (let's fill up). 'Pour fuir' indicates the reason why they are filling up.
