Grammar:

• I sip it in the way he likes, ruby red, locking eyes

  ➔ Adverbial phrase of manner (in the way he likes), present participle (locking eyes)

  ➔ "In the way he likes" describes *how* she sips the drink. "Locking eyes" acts as an adjective describing the scene, implying simultaneous action.

• Honey, what were you thinkin'?

  ➔ Past continuous tense in an interrogative sentence.

  ➔ The past continuous "were you thinking" emphasizes the ongoing nature of the thought process at a specific time in the past, conveying surprise or disbelief.

• Look at you, just look at you now

  ➔ Imperative mood, present simple (look)

  ➔ "Look at you" is an imperative sentence, a direct command. "Look" is the verb in its base form, used to tell someone to do something.

• I can't imagine it, how does it feel to be forgotten (ah), be forgotten?

  ➔ Modal verb (can't), infinitive phrase as a subject complement (to be forgotten)

  ➔ "Can't imagine" uses the modal verb "can't" expressing an inability. "To be forgotten" is an infinitive phrase functioning as the subject complement of "feel".

• I hope one day you heal

  ➔ Simple present tense, subjunctive mood implied

  ➔ While "I hope" takes the simple present, the desire for someone to "heal" suggests a subtle subjunctive sense, implying it's a desired outcome not yet realized. The construction "I hope (that) you heal" can sometimes carry a less strong subjunctive meaning than a more formal construction.

• Ahora todo está dicho y hecho, todo está olvidado

  ➔ Passive voice (está dicho, está olvidado), past participle (dicho, hecho, olvidado)

  ➔ "Está dicho" and "está olvidado" are examples of the passive voice in Spanish. The verb "estar" (to be) is combined with the past participle of a verb to indicate that the subject is receiving the action, rather than performing it. "Dicho," "hecho," and "olvidado" are past participles.
