Key Grammar Structures

• Weak, I have been crying and crying for weeks

  ➔ Present Perfect Continuous

  ➔ The use of 'have been + verb-ing' emphasizes the duration of the crying, highlighting a continuous action that started in the past and continues up to the present. The repetition of 'crying' intensifies the feeling.

• I don't know what your love has done to me

  ➔ Present Perfect Simple

  ➔ The Present Perfect 'has done' indicates an action completed at an unspecified time in the past, with a result that is relevant now – the speaker is currently feeling the effects of the love.

• Feels almost like I had it all along

  ➔ Past Subjunctive (implied)

  ➔ The phrase suggests a counterfactual situation – that the feeling of strength was always within the speaker, even though they didn't realize it. 'Had' implies a past possibility that wasn't fully realized until now.

• Every minute with you I feel like I can do anything

  ➔ Conditional Clause (Type 1)

  ➔ The structure 'If + present simple, will + infinitive' is implied. 'With you' acts as the condition, and 'I can do anything' is the likely result. It expresses a realistic possibility.

• My only weakness is you

  ➔ Subject-Verb-Complement with Noun as Predicative Complement

  ➔ The noun 'you' functions as the predicative complement, describing what the subject ('my only weakness') *is*. It defines the subject's characteristic.
