Key Grammar Structures

• I just wanna know, can you come make your ass shake?

  ➔ Modal verb + bare infinitive (can + base verb); question formation; ellipsis of 'to' before 'make'.

  ➔ The word "can" is a modal verb expressing ability/permission. "make" is a bare infinitive (no "to") because it follows the modal.

• If she act up, she can get a replacement.

  ➔ First conditional (if + present simple, will/can + base verb); modal verb 'can' for possibility.

  ➔ The clause "If she act up" uses the present simple after "if" to talk about a real possibility. "can get" shows ability/possibility.

• Do what I want, your bitch get told.

  ➔ Imperative sentence; elliptical passive voice (get + past participle) without a subject.

  ➔ The verb "Do" starts an imperative. "get told" is a colloquial passive construction meaning "be told".

• It's 9:59 and Melvin on time.

  ➔ Simple present (It is) with time expression; present simple used for scheduled events.

  ➔ "It's" is a contraction of "It is". The present simple is used to state the current time as a fact.

• Put dick in her ribs, tuck into her spine.

  ➔ Imperative mood; two base‑form verbs linked by a comma, each commanding an action.

  ➔ "Put" and "tuck" are bare infinitives used as commands; the subject "you" is implied.

• Bitch finna eat dick off dinner plate.

  ➔ Use of "finna" (going to) for near‑future intention; colloquial future construction.

  ➔ "finna" is a slang contraction of "fixing to" meaning "about to"; it introduces a planned action.

• He ain't got no money, why the fuck he tryna date me?

  ➔ Negative contraction "ain't" + double negative; informal present progressive "tryna" (trying to).

  ➔ "ain't" replaces "is not/has not" in colloquial speech. "got no" creates a double negative, intensifying the negation. "tryna" = "trying to".

• He trippin', let that man go.

  ➔ Present participle used as a colloquial adjective "trippin'"; imperative "let" with bare infinitive.

  ➔ "trippin'" (short for "tripping") describes someone acting irrationally. "let" is an imperative verb followed by the bare infinitive "that man go".
