Key Grammar Structures

• I am woman, I am fearless

  ➔ Simple Present Tense (to be verb)

  ➔ Using the simple present tense with the verb "am" (a form of "to be") to express a state of being or a quality: "I am" + noun/adjective. This indicates a current, unchanging characteristic.

• Honey, you can get in line

  ➔ Modal verb "can" for permission/possibility

  ➔ "Can" indicates that it is permissible or possible for someone to "get in line". It's a somewhat casual and assertive way of expressing a possibility.

• I am anything I want

  ➔ Noun clause as object of "be"

  ➔ The clause "anything I want" functions as the object of the verb "am". It expresses the idea that the speaker has complete freedom to define themselves.

• If you got it going on

  ➔ Conditional clause (zero conditional)

  ➔ Although not a typical zero conditional (which usually describes universal truths), this sentence implies a consistent result: if you "got it going on", then something favorable will happen. It's a relaxed, colloquial usage.

• I live by my own design

  ➔ Preposition "by" meaning "according to"

  ➔ The preposition "by" here means "according to" or "following." It signifies that the speaker's life is governed by principles or plans they have created themselves.

• Only love can get inside me

  ➔ Inversion for emphasis (subject-verb inversion after "only")

  ➔ The sentence is inverted: "Only love can get inside me" instead of "Only love gets inside me". This structure emphasizes the word "love" and suggests that nothing else has the power to affect the speaker in a deep way.

• Voice of the future speak to me kindly

  ➔ Imperative Mood (formal)

  ➔ The use of "speak" as an imperative suggests a direct command or request. This creates a sense of personification, asking the "voice of the future" to be kind when communicating.

• Long as you know that it's false

  ➔ Shortened "As long as"

  ➔ "Long as" is a colloquial shortening of "As long as," introducing a condition. The full clause means that it doesn't matter what others say, provided that you yourself know the statements are untrue.
