Key Grammar Structures

• I KISS FOR FUN, IT’S FUN TO KISS

  ➔ Present Simple Tense

  ➔ The present simple tense describes habitual actions or general truths, here emphasizing "I kiss" and "it’s fun" as ongoing or regular experiences.

• KISS ME

  ➔ Imperative Mood

  ➔ The imperative mood is used for direct commands. Here, "Kiss" gives a straightforward instruction to the listener or partner.

• LIKE THIS

  ➔ Demonstrative Pronoun

  ➔ Demonstrative pronouns point to things in context. "This" refers to a demonstrated action or example, shown as "like this" in the kiss.

• DON’T CARE THAT I BARELY EVEN KNOW YA

  ➔ Negation with Auxiliary Verb

  ➔ Negation is formed with "don't" (do not) + base verb, expressing indifference. "I barely even know ya" uses intensifiers for emphasis in a subclause.

• IT’S NOT THAT DEEP UNLESS YOU WANT IT TO BE

  ➔ Conditional Clause with Unless

  ➔ Unless introduces an exception in conditionals. Here, "unless you want it to be" means the depth depends on desire, with "want" followed by infinitive "to be".

• WHAT’S THE POINT OF ALL THE SPACE IN BETWEEN

  ➔ WH-Question Formation

  ➔ WH-questions invert subject-verb order for queries. "What’s" (what is) asks about purpose, with prepositions like "of" and "in" for relation.

• THE SLOWER THE MOTION, THE WETTER THE OCEAN

  ➔ Correlative Construction (The...The...)

  ➔ Correlatives show proportional relationships. "The slower... the wetter" links increasing slowness with wetness metaphorically, using comparatives.

• WE SHOULD MAKE OUT RIGHT?

  ➔ Modal Verb with Tag Question

  ➔ Modals like "should" suggest obligation or advice. A tag question "right?" seeks agreement, implying casual suggestion with "make out" as idiomatic phrasal verb.
