Key Grammar Structures

• I can still feel the way you want me when you hold me

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood (implied)

  ➔ While not explicitly a subjunctive clause with "if," the phrase suggests a hypothetical or conditional scenario. The 'way you want me' implies a degree of subjectivity and desire, which aligns with the underlying emotional context associated with subjunctive-like meaning.

• I can still hear the words you whispered when you told me

  ➔ Past Simple Tense; Relative Clause with 'when'

  ➔ The sentence uses the past simple tense ('whispered', 'told') to describe actions that happened in the past. The clause 'when you told me' acts as a relative clause, modifying 'the words'.

• And there ain't no way I'm letting you go now

  ➔ Double Negative (Non-standard); Present Continuous for Future Intent

  ➔ 'Ain't' and 'no' create a double negative, which is non-standard English but used for emphasis. 'I'm letting you go' uses the present continuous to express a firm intention about the future.

• We will be together all of our days

  ➔ Future Simple Tense; Possessive Pronoun ('our')

  ➔ The sentence uses the future simple tense ('will be') to express a prediction or intention. 'Our days' uses the possessive pronoun 'our' to indicate belonging or association.

• Want to wake up every morning to your sweet face, always

  ➔ Infinitive of Purpose; Adverb of Frequency ('always')

  ➔ 'To wake up' is an infinitive phrase used to express the purpose or reason for wanting something. 'Always' is an adverb of frequency indicating that this desire is constant.

• I can feel your love for me in your heart

  ➔ Prepositional phrase (for me, in your heart)

  ➔ The sentence includes two prepositional phrases which give extra information about the location of her love
