Key Grammar Structures

• When I am gone I hope that you'll stay

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood (implied) and Future in the Past

  ➔ The phrase "When I *am* gone" is in the indicative mood, describing a likely future event. The word "hope" implies a desired, but uncertain, future. The "you'll stay" which should be "you will stay" means a prediction in the future.

• Keep me close in memory

  ➔ Imperative Mood

  ➔ This is a direct command or request. The implied subject is "you". The verb "Keep" is in its base form.

• I'll be right here waiting for you

  ➔ Future Continuous Tense

  ➔ "I'll be waiting" indicates an action that will be in progress at a specific time in the future. It emphasizes the duration of the waiting.

• No one can stop me if they tried

  ➔ Second Conditional

  ➔ This uses the structure "if + past simple, would/could/might + base form". It describes a hypothetical or unlikely situation in the present or future. "If they tried" is the condition (past simple), and "No one can stop me" is the result. In some cases, you can replace "would" with "can" when discussing abilities.

• Eternity is so beautifully cold

  ➔ Adverb of Degree

  ➔ The adverb "so" intensifies the adjective "beautifully". It indicates a high degree of beauty.

• I'm lost in your eyes

  ➔ Passive Voice (State)

  ➔ "I'm lost" doesn't describe an action being done *to* the subject, but rather a state of being. It uses the verb "to be" + past participle (lost).

• Don't be afraid when Everything fades to gray

  ➔ Imperative (Negative) and Subjunctive (Implied)

  ➔ "Don't be afraid" is a negative imperative, giving a command *not* to do something. There's an implied sense of uncertainty or possibility in "Everything fades to gray," leaning toward subjunctive thought.

• I need all you're love

  ➔ Possessive Adjective (incorrectly used, should be 'your')

  ➔ This is a mistake in the lyrics. "You're" is a contraction of "you are," while "your" is the possessive adjective. It should be "your love". This highlights the importance of distinguishing between similar-sounding words.
