Key Grammar Structures

• I’d rather chase your shadow all my life

  ➔ Would‑rather + infinitive (preference)

  ➔ The modal "would" expresses a preference; "rather" is the key word: I’d "rather" chase your shadow all my life.

• Than be afraid of my own

  ➔ Comparative clause with "than"

  ➔ "Than" introduces the second part of the comparison: "...rather chase..." **"than"** "be afraid of my own".

• I’d rather be with you

  ➔ Would‑rather + infinitive (preference)

  ➔ Again the modal "would" + "rather" shows a preference; the infinitive is "be": I’d "rather" "be" with you.

• I wouldn’t change a thing

  ➔ Conditional with "would" + base verb (negative)

  ➔ "Wouldn’t" is the negative form of "would"; it expresses a hypothetical refusal: I "wouldn't" "change" a thing.

• I’ve got nothing else to lose

  ➔ Present perfect + infinitive phrase (obligation/possibility)

  ➔ "I’ve got" = "I have" in present perfect; "nothing else to lose" uses an infinitive phrase after a noun: "nothing else" "to lose".

• I lost it all when I found you

  ➔ Simple past + time clause with "when"

  ➔ "Lost" is in the simple past; the clause "when I found you" tells **when** the loss happened.

• So I will just let go

  ➔ Future simple with modal "will" + adverb "just"

  ➔ "Will" marks a future intention; "just" softens the action: I "will" "just" "let go".

• When the world keeps spinning round

  ➔ Present progressive in a subordinate clause introduced by "when"

  ➔ "Keeps" is the third‑person singular of "keep" in present progressive: "the world" **"keeps"** "spinning".

• All my life has found its meaning

  ➔ Present perfect with third‑person singular subject

  ➔ "Has" is the auxiliary verb for present perfect with a singular subject: "All my life" **"has"** "found" its meaning.
