Grammar:

• Look at this

  ➔ Imperative sentence (direct command)

  ➔ The verb "look" is in the base form, giving a direct command to observe something. It implies urgency or emphasis. At the B2-C1 level, understanding the subtle nuances of commands (politeness, authority) is important.

• I'm a coward, too

  ➔ Adverb "too" for addition/agreement.

  ➔ The adverb "too" indicates that the speaker shares the same quality (being a coward) as someone else previously mentioned or implied. The placement of "too" at the end of the sentence is very common. At C1/C2, focus is on using different adverbs to express similar meanings with more subtlety.

• You don't need to hide, my friend

  ➔ Use of modal verb "need to" for expressing necessity (or lack thereof).

  ➔ "Don't need to" indicates the absence of necessity or obligation. At B2-C1, students should be able to distinguish between different ways to express lack of necessity (e.g., "don't have to", "needn't").

• For I am just like you

  ➔ Use of conjunction "for" to introduce a reason or explanation.

  ➔ The conjunction "for" functions similarly to "because" but is often considered more formal or literary. At C1/C2, students need to use "for" appropriately and understand its subtle difference in tone and formality compared to "because". The phrase "just like you" uses the adverb "just" to emphasize the similarity.
