Key Grammar Structures
-
I'M SUPPOSED TO TAKE YOUR BULLSHIT
➔ Modal verb + Infinitive; Informal language
➔ "Supposed to" expresses an obligation or expectation. "Bullshit" is a very informal and strong term for nonsense or unacceptable behavior.
-
ARE YOU JEALOUS?
➔ Question formation with 'to be' + adjective
➔ A direct question using the verb 'to be' to inquire about someone's emotional state. The intonation is crucial for identifying it as a question.
-
I DIDN'T MEAN REALLY FUCKING DO OR SAY ANYTHING
➔ Past tense negation with 'didn't'; Intensifier ('really fucking'); Infinitive phrases
➔ The sentence expresses regret and a denial of intention. "Really fucking" is a very strong intensifier, adding emphasis to the lack of intent. The use of infinitives ('to do', 'to say') shows what wasn't intended.
-
MAYBE IF I GET HER NUMBER AND THAN SHE TEXT AT 2 AM THAN YOU WILL BE HAPPIER
➔ Conditional sentence (Type 2 - hypothetical); Incorrect use of 'than' instead of 'then'
➔ This sentence presents a hypothetical situation. The 'if' clause sets a condition, and the main clause describes the potential result. The use of 'than' instead of 'then' is a common error.
-
YOU WANT TO JUST FIGHT?
➔ Tag question; Imperative mood implied
➔ The sentence is a tag question, seeking confirmation of the speaker's perception that the other person wants to fight. It also carries an implied challenge or accusation.
