Key Grammar Structures

• Hello! Am I selected?

  ➔ Present simple passive question (auxiliary inversion)

  ➔ The sentence is a yes‑no question in the present simple passive. The auxiliary verb "am" precedes the subject "I" to form the question: "Am I selected?"

• You are not selected!

  ➔ Simple present passive negative

  ➔ The verb "are" + past participle "selected" forms a passive construction; adding "not" makes it negative: "You are not selected."

• I don't think I can do this anymore.

  ➔ Negative present simple + modal verb "can" + infinitive

  ➔ The clause "I don't think" is a negative present simple. Inside it, the modal "can" expresses ability, followed by the infinitive "do": "I can do this." Adding "anymore" signals that the ability no longer holds.

• I failed again.

  ➔ Simple past affirmative

  ➔ The verb "failed" is the past form of "fail"; the sentence states a completed action in the past: "I failed again."

• All the best! I know you will kill it today.

  ➔ Future simple with modal "will" + infinitive

  ➔ The clause "you will kill it" uses the modal verb "will" to form the simple future, followed by the infinitive "kill". It expresses a confident prediction about today.

• Just trust me!

  ➔ Imperative mood (bare verb)

  ➔ The verb "trust" appears without a subject; in English imperatives the subject "you" is implied: "(You) just trust me!"

• Why you scared?

  ➔ Informal interrogative missing auxiliary verb (colloquial inversion)

  ➔ Standard English would be "Why are you scared?" The auxiliary "are" is omitted in informal speech, giving the colloquial form "Why you scared?"

• Rise up ladies! It's your time.

  ➔ Imperative + contraction "It's" (it is)

  ➔ The verb "Rise" is used in the imperative to give a command: "Rise up ladies!" The following sentence uses the contraction "It's" for "It is": "It's your time."

• They all are fake!

  ➔ Simple present with plural subject + verb "are" + adjective

  ➔ The plural pronoun "They" takes the verb "are" in the present simple. The adjective "fake" describes the subject: "They all are fake!"
