Key Grammar Structures

• You came at a bad time

  ➔ Simple Past Tense

  ➔ The "Simple Past Tense" is used to describe an action that started and finished at a specific time in the past.

• You want to get wild?

  ➔ Infinitive after verb

  ➔ Many verbs, like "want," are followed by an infinitive ("to get") to express purpose, intention, or desire.

• Better to try and get into our level

  ➔ Impersonal suggestion/advice (implied "It is better to...")

  ➔ The phrase "better to..." is an informal way to give advice or suggest a preferred action, implying "It would be better to...". The infinitive highlights the recommended action.

• When you pull up, I'll pull up a little later to the party

  ➔ First Conditional / Time Clause with "When"

  ➔ This is an example of the "First Conditional", where a "time clause" (introduced by "when" and using the present simple) refers to a future event, followed by the future simple in the main clause. It describes a likely future outcome.

• I can do this with my eyes closed

  ➔ Modal Verb "can" + Participial Phrase

  ➔ The modal verb "can" expresses ability. "With my eyes closed" is a "participial phrase" acting as an adverbial modifier, describing the manner in which the action is performed.

• There is no point in avoiding it

  ➔ "There is no point in + Gerund"

  ➔ The fixed expression "there is no point in (doing something)" means that an action is useless, futile, or will not achieve anything worthwhile. It is always followed by a "gerund" (verb + -ing).

• I'm taking you out like a lawless boy

  ➔ Present Continuous for future + Simile

  ➔ The "Present Continuous" ("I'm taking") can be used to describe a planned or definite future action. The phrase "like a lawless boy" is a "simile", comparing the speaker's action to that of a lawless boy using the word "like."

• 'Cause I'm gonna show you

  ➔ "Be going to" (future intention)

  ➔ "Be going to" (often informally contracted to "gonna") is used to express a future intention or a prediction based on present evidence or plans.
