Key Grammar Structures

• And we're always so fly

  ➔ Adverb of frequency + 'to be' + degree adverb

  ➔ The structure 'we are always' uses the frequency adverb 'always' before the adjective 'fly' to emphasize a permanent state.

• Just for the feeling

  ➔ Prepositional phrase expressing purpose

  ➔ The phrase 'for the feeling' uses the preposition 'for' to indicate the reason or motivation behind an action.

• Tragedy free

  ➔ Noun + adjective suffix (compound adjective)

  ➔ The suffix '-free' is attached to the noun 'tragedy' to mean 'without tragedy'.

• Make yourself a friend of mine

  ➔ Imperative sentence + double genitive/possessive structure

  ➔ The imperative 'Make yourself' is followed by the structure 'a friend of mine', which uses the double genitive to denote possession.

• But you can start a walk

  ➔ Conjunction + modal verb + base form of verb

  ➔ The conjunction 'but' contrasts the previous clause, and 'can start' uses a modal verb for ability or possibility.
