Key Grammar Structures
-
Tell me the taste ain’t good to ya
➔ Negative Imperative with Informal Contraction
➔ This sentence uses the negative imperative 'Tell me' with 'ain't' (a contraction of 'is not' or 'are not' or 'am not'), which is grammatically incorrect but commonly used in informal contexts. 'To ya' is a slang contraction of 'to you'. The underlying structure is a request to deny that the taste is good.
-
Girl you can search the world for better love
➔ Modal verb of ability ('can') with comparative adjective ('better')

넌 벗어날 수 없게 돼 Babe
➔ Modal Verb of Possibility/Inability ('수 없다')
