Key Grammar Structures

• What is this glitch? But then you like it, so you do it again.

  ➔ Conditional clauses (first conditional)

  ➔ The sentence uses 'so' to indicate a result. 'If you like it, you will do it again' is implied. The structure is 'if + present simple, will + base verb'. The 'so' acts as a conjunction showing consequence.

• I want to fall down. Give myself to you.

  ➔ Bare infinitive after 'let' and 'make' (implied imperative)

  ➔ The second sentence is an imperative, but the structure 'Give myself to you' uses the bare infinitive ('give') because it's a request/command. The first sentence is a statement of desire.

• It doesn't matter now.

  ➔ Negative contraction with auxiliary verb 'does'

  ➔ The sentence demonstrates a common contraction in English: 'does not' becomes 'doesn't'. This is a standard way to form negative statements in the present simple tense.

• You're sweet.

  ➔ Contraction of 'you are'

  ➔ The apostrophe (') indicates missing letters, in this case, 'are'. This is a very common contraction in spoken and informal written English.

• You're the one I want you.

  ➔ Relative pronoun 'who/that' omitted (relative clause)

  ➔ The sentence is a shortened form of 'You're the one *that* I want'. The relative pronoun 'that' is often omitted in informal speech and writing when it refers to a person.
