Key Grammar Structures

  • and when you have a second later I want to show you why we don't just trap spiders under coffee mugs and leave them there

    ➔ Future in the past with 'was/were going to'

    ➔ The phrase 'I want to show you' implies a future action, but 'when you have a second later' sets it in a past context, using the structure 'was/were going to' to express future plans from a past perspective.

  • not that I hate my life officially sucks but rage wasn't supposed to be a temporary thing

    ➔ Inversion with 'not that'

    ➔ The phrase 'not that I hate my life' uses inversion after 'not that' to emphasize the correction or clarification, shifting the word order for emphasis.

  • I thought you wanted to do fashion stuff well yeah yeah I'm still pursuing that

    ➔ Tag questions with 'well yeah yeah'

    ➔ The phrase 'well yeah yeah' functions as a tag question, adding emphasis or seeking confirmation in a casual, conversational tone.

  • you need the fear

    ➔ Emphatic structure with 'the'

    ➔ The use of 'the fear' with the definite article 'the' adds emphasis, suggesting a specific, intense fear rather than fear in general.

  • I'm gonna give you my week's notice

    ➔ Going to future for immediate plans

    ➔ 'I'm gonna give you my week's notice' uses 'going to' to express an immediate future action, indicating a decision already made.
