Key Grammar Structures

• I won't break down tonight

  ➔ Future Simple (will + base form of verb) - Negative form

  ➔ This expresses a future intention or prediction. "won't" is a contraction of "will not".

• I feel it for the first time

  ➔ Present Simple tense used to describe a state or feeling.

  ➔ This indicates a sensation or emotion being experienced now, and it's the first time the speaker has felt it.

• I'm coming down fast

  ➔ Present Continuous (am/is/are + verb-ing) - describing an action happening now.

  ➔ This indicates an action that is happening at the moment of speaking. "coming down" suggests a descent, either literally or metaphorically (e.g., from a high point or a state of excitement).

• I found a new place here

  ➔ Past Simple Tense - indicating a completed action in the past

  ➔ This expresses the completion of the action of finding a new place. The time is not necessarily recent, but the action is finished.
