    ➔ The word 'but' links two independent clauses to show contrast; 'I'll' is the contraction of 'I will'.

  • The universe is drowning in spilled tears

    ➔ Present continuous with 'is drowning'; 'in' introduces a prepositional phrase; 'spilled tears' uses a past participle as an adjective.

    ➔ The phrase 'is drowning' is the present continuous form of 'to drown', showing ongoing action; 'in' introduces the prepositional phrase 'in spilled tears'.

  • There’s nowhere to run

    ➔ Existential 'There is/There’s' construction; 'nowhere' = negative location; 'to run' = to-infinitive.

    ➔ The existential 'There’s' construction uses 'There’s' to introduce existence; 'nowhere' is a negative location; 'to run' is an infinitive.

  • It's all my fault

    ➔ Contraction 'it's' = 'it is'; 'my fault' is a predicative complement after a copular verb.
