Key Grammar Structures
-
Me not working hard?
➔ Double Negative/Incorrect Grammar for Emphasis
➔ This is an example of colloquial speech using a double negative (technically incorrect). It's used for emphasis, implying the opposite: 'I *am* working hard'.
-
For all we know, we might not get tomorrow
➔ Modal Verb of Possibility ('might') + Negative ('not') + Future Time Reference
➔ This sentence uses 'might not' to express uncertainty about the future. 'For all we know' adds to this uncertainty, suggesting that there's a real possibility that the future is not guaranteed.
-
Tomorrow I'm off to do battle, perform for princess
➔ Future Tense (using present continuous for planned future) + Infinitive of Purpose ('to do battle', 'perform')
➔ The sentence uses the present continuous tense ('I'm off') to indicate a scheduled future event. The infinitives ('to do', 'perform') explain the purpose of going.
-
I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan
➔ Simile using 'like' to make a comparison
➔ This line uses a simile to compare the speaker's secure situation to Lindsay Lohan being 'locked up' (presumably referring to legal troubles).
-
And I might take you home with me if I could tonight
➔ Second Conditional (Hypothetical situation in the present/future)
➔ This sentence expresses a hypothetical situation. 'If I could' sets up the condition that would lead to taking someone home. The 'might' expresses possibility.
-
Reach for the stars and if you don't grab 'em, at least you'll fall on top of the world
➔ Imperative ('Reach') + Conditional clause (Zero/First Conditional depending on interpretation) + Idiomatic expression ('on top of the world')
➔ This uses an imperative to give advice. The 'if' clause presents a conditional scenario, and 'on top of the world' is an idiom meaning feeling extremely happy or successful.
