Key Grammar Structures

• Work it

  ➔ Imperative mood

  ➔ This is a direct command. The verb is used in its base form without a subject.

• Makes us

  ➔ Present simple, Third-person singular

  ➔ This uses the third-person singular form of the verb 'make', which requires the '-s' ending in the present simple. The implied subject is likely 'it'. 'It makes us...' (stronger).

• Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

  ➔ Comparative adjectives

  ➔ These are all comparative adjectives, indicating a greater degree of the quality they describe compared to a previous state. They are formed by adding '-er' to the base adjective.

• More than ever

  ➔ Phrase expressing increase or surpassing

  ➔ This idiomatic phrase means 'to a greater extent than at any previous time'. 'More' indicates comparison and 'ever' emphasizes the totality of previous instances.

• Hour after hour

  ➔ Prepositional phrase indicating repetition

  ➔ This means that something is happening repeatedly, one hour following another. The preposition 'after' connects the two nouns.

• Work is never over

  ➔ Present simple tense, negative form

  ➔ This is a statement of a general truth or fact. 'Is' is the present tense of the verb 'to be', and 'never' indicates that something does not happen at any time. This is equivalent to 'Work isn't ever over'.
