Key Grammar Structures
-
Isn't Rachel supposed to be back by now?
➔ be supposed to + infinitive (expressing expectation)
➔ The word "supposed" introduces a passive‑modal construction that shows something is expected to happen.
-
But actually she should be here by now.
➔ modal verb should + infinitive (expressing expectation or advice)
➔ "should" is used here to show that the speaker expects her to be present now.
-
Oh so you talked to her—did she?
➔ question tag with inversion (did + subject)
➔ The auxiliary "did" moves before the subject "she" to form a yes‑no question.
-
I had to go after her; I did what I had to do.
➔ past modal "had to" + infinitive (obligation in the past)
➔ "had to" expresses a compulsory action that was necessary in the past; the infinitive "go" follows it.
-
I’m not comfortable having that kind of power and control over someone’s life.
➔ adjective + gerund (comfortable + having)
➔ The adjective "comfortable" is followed by the gerund "having" to describe the state of being comfortable with something.
-
I’m going to send 72 long‑stemmed red roses to her parents’ house.
➔ future intention with "going to" + infinitive
➔ The phrase "going to send" indicates a plan that the speaker has already decided on.
-
If you make all of my decisions for me, I’ll lose my independence.
➔ first‑conditional (if + present simple, will + base verb)
➔ "If" introduces a realistic future condition; the result clause uses "will" to talk about the future consequence.
-
You know, I’m not comfortable having that kind of power.
➔ discourse marker "you know" (used for emphasis or checking listener’s agreement)
➔ "you know" is inserted to involve the listener, similar to saying "do you understand?" or "right?".
