Key Grammar Structures
-
Ma journée est passée à une de ces vitesses
➔ Use of "à" + [speed] for expression of manner.
➔ The phrase "à une de ces vitesses" means "at such a speed". It's a way of saying the day went by very quickly.
-
Pas mis le nez dehors et pas lavée
➔ Use of "ne...pas" with a past participle to express negation in the past. Ellipsis of 'je' before 'pas'.
➔ "Pas mis le nez dehors" is equivalent to "Je n'ai pas mis le nez dehors" (I didn't go outside). "Pas lavée" is short for "Je ne me suis pas lavée" (I didn't wash myself).
-
J'voulais faire des stories qui t'étaient dédiées
➔ Use of relative pronoun "qui" followed by the verb "être" in the imperfect subjunctive (étaient dédiées).
➔ The stories are "dedicated" to you. "Qui" connects "stories" with the clause that describes them. Imperfect subjunctive "étaient dédiées" may indicate a hypothetical or desired action in the past.

C'est faux peut-être mais au plus je ris, Au plus j'te donne tort
➔ Correlation with "au plus... au plus" (the more... the more).
➔ Expresses a proportional increase. The more I laugh, the more I prove you wrong.
-
Hier tu me voulais
➔ Imperfect tense ("voulais") to describe a state or desire in the past.
➔ "You wanted me yesterday". The imperfect shows that the desire was existing or ongoing during a certain period in the past.
-
Demain tu me feras marcher
➔ Use of "faire + infinitive" construction to express causing someone to do something.
➔ "You will make me walk." In this context, it means "You will lead me on."
-
J'vais devoir t'oublier
➔ Use of "aller + devoir + infinitive" to express a future obligation.
➔ "I am going to have to forget you". The expression denotes necessity or obligation.
-
Pourquoi tes "j'aime" comptent plus que ceux des autres
➔ Use of "compter plus que" to express that something is more important than something else.
