Key Grammar Structures

• We say, "I love you"

  ➔ present simple (habitual action)

  ➔ The verb "say" is in the present simple to talk about something that is regularly said.

• We go to parties

  ➔ present simple (routine)

  ➔ "Go" is in the present simple to describe a regular activity.

• But baby, something's changed

  ➔ present perfect (have/has + past participle) – contracted

  ➔ "Something's" is a contraction of "something has"; the present perfect shows a change that has just occurred.

• There's just this thing that I can't explain

  ➔ relative clause + modal verb "can't" + infinitive

  ➔ "that I can't explain" is a relative clause; "can't" (cannot) is a modal verb showing inability, followed by the base verb "explain".

• Now, we're runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin' in circles

  ➔ present continuous (be + -ing) – progressive action

  ➔ "We're runnin'" uses the present continuous ("are" + "-ing") to describe an ongoing activity.

• But I think we got to

  ➔ modal expression "got to" = "have to" (obligation)

  ➔ "got to" functions like "have to"; it expresses a necessary action: "We have to do it".

• There's just some things about me that I wish I could change

  ➔ "wish + could + infinitive" for unreal present wishes

  ➔ "wish I could change" uses "wish" + past modal "could" + base verb to talk about a desire that isn’t true now.

• Instead of running off to someone new, I'd rather start again and grow with you

  ➔ "instead of + gerund" and "would rather + infinitive" for preferences

  ➔ "instead of running" uses "instead of" + gerund to show an alternative action; "I'd rather" = "I would rather" + base verb expresses a stronger preference.
