Key Grammar Structures
-
You can get wild if you want to
➔ Modal verb “can” + zero conditional
➔ The modal **"can"** expresses ability, and the clause **"if you want to"** is a zero‑conditional expressing a real possibility.
-
I can give you anything you want to
➔ Modal verb “can” + infinitive “to” after “want”
➔ The modal **"can"** shows ability, and **"to"** is the infinitive marker that follows the verb **"want"** in the complement clause.
-
When I'm with you, baby, all night long
➔ Present continuous (am + -ing) with temporal clause “when”
➔ The verb **"'m"** (short for **"am"**) plus **"-ing"** forms the present continuous, indicating an ongoing action at the time expressed by **"when"**.
-
I have a new position called "The wickedest slam gonna leave you wanting more"
➔ Present simple with noun complement and gerund "wanting"
➔ The verb **"have"** is in the present simple, followed by a noun phrase **"a new position"**. The clause **"called …"** functions as a post‑modifier, and **"wanting"** is a gerund acting as the object of **"leave"**.
-
Le gusta que estoy daña'o
➔ Spanish “gustar” construction with a subordinate clause introduced by “que”
➔ The verb **"gusta"** (third‑person singular of **"gustar"**) takes a **"que"** clause (**"que estoy daña'o"**) as its subject complement, meaning “He/She likes that I’m messed up”.
-
Do nuh shy gal when you riding my pole
➔ Imperative “Do” + present participle “riding” (non‑standard reduced clause)
➔ The word **"Do"** functions as an informal imperative (“don’t be”), followed by the present participle **"riding"** which should normally be part of a progressive clause (**"when you are riding"**).
-
Mek you feel like heaven when me up inna yu soul
➔ Causative verb “Mek” (make) + bare infinitive, and colloquial “me up” as a reduced clause
➔ The verb **"Mek"** (a dialectal form of **"make"**) takes the bare infinitive **"feel"**. The phrase **"me up"** is a non‑standard reduced clause meaning **"when I’m up"**.
-
You know that I'll be ready when you knocking my door
➔ Future simple “will be” + present participle “knocking” in a temporal clause (missing auxiliary)
➔ The clause **"I'll be ready"** uses the future simple **"will be"**. In the temporal clause **"when you knocking my door"**, the present participle **"knocking"** should be preceded by **"are"** (**"when you are knocking"**).
