Key Grammar Structures

• What the __ is this?

  ➔ Subject‑verb inversion in questions

  ➔ The verb "is" comes before the subject "this" to form a question.

• I hate when I run out.

  ➔ Simple present + "when" time clause

  ➔ "hate" is in the simple present, and the "when"‑clause "run" also uses the simple present.

• I'm getting clean once my new album Z come out.

  ➔ Present continuous + "once" clause with simple present

  ➔ "I'm getting" is present continuous; after "once" the verb stays in simple present – "come".

• I didn't bib inside of strike, my mama called me out of route.

  ➔ Simple past negative (did + not + base verb) + simple past

  ➔ "didn't bib" uses the auxiliary "did" + "not" + base verb "bib"; "called" is simple past.

• I'm ready to go, you can try.

  ➔ "ready" + infinitive; modal "can" + base verb

  ➔ "ready to go" uses the infinitive "go" after the adjective "ready"; "can try" is modal "can" + base verb "try".

• Tell her I should strike a pose and watch this drink will take a pic.

  ➔ Modal "should" + base verb; future "will" + base verb

  ➔ "should strike" shows the modal "should" followed by the base verb "strike"; "will take" is the simple future with "will" + base verb "take".

• Bro got button, but I got built in FRT inside of my bleezy.

  ➔ Past simple + contrast conjunction "but"

  ➔ Both clauses use the past simple verb "got"; the conjunction "but" links two contrasting ideas.

• I'm down to buy survive the V depend on who I'm with.

  ➔ "be down to" + infinitive (expressing willingness)

  ➔ "down to" is followed by the infinitive "buy" to show willingness to purchase.

• You ain't trying to walk down with us then you going to probably just be a witness.

  ➔ Colloquial negative "ain't" + "going to" future construction

  ➔ "ain't trying" replaces "are not trying"; "going to be" expresses a future plan or certainty.

• I fell in the bottom bikini bottom, who knew Patrick be a star?

  ➔ Past simple + embedded question with base verb (non‑standard)

  ➔ "fell" is past simple; the clause "who knew Patrick be a star" uses the base verb "be" without "is/was", which is non‑standard but common in slang.
