Key Grammar Structures
-
I want to join Jessica's English class at that school.
➔ Verb + infinitive (want + to‑infinitive)
➔ The verb "want" is followed by the infinitive "to join" to express a desire for a future action.
-
If it weren't for ***you***, I wouldn't have made it.
➔ Past unreal conditional (if + past perfect)
➔ "weren't" is the past subjunctive of "be" used after "if" to talk about a situation that did not happen in the past.
-
What if I love ***sticking*** my nose into other people's business?
➔ Embedded question with "what if" + present simple
➔ "what if" introduces a hypothetical scenario; the verb "sticking" is a gerund functioning as the object of "love".
-
I wish I ***knew*** the whole story earlier.
➔ Wish + past simple for present unreal situation
➔ "knew" is the past simple form used after "wish" to express a present desire that is not true.
-
We don't need to ***fight***!
➔ Negative modal + infinitive (need + to‑infinitive)
➔ "need" is a modal‑like verb followed by the infinitive "to fight" to state that fighting is unnecessary.
-
I have been ***instructed*** by the boss to take you back home.
➔ Passive voice with present perfect continuous
➔ "have been instructed" combines "have been" (present perfect) with the past participle "instructed" to form a passive meaning "someone instructed me".
-
How ***did*** you know when they were coming?
➔ Inverted question with past simple "did" + base verb
➔ "did" is the auxiliary verb used to form a past‑tense question; it precedes the subject "you" and the base verb "know".
-
It ***didn't*** go smoothly.
➔ Negative past simple with contraction "didn't"
➔ "didn't" = "did not"; it negates the past‑tense verb "go" to state that the action was not smooth.
-
Got a ***problem*** with that?
➔ Elliptical question (omission of subject and auxiliary)
➔ "Got" is a colloquial past‑tense form of "have"; the full form would be "Do you have a problem with that?"
