Key Grammar Structures

• We're walking on the sun, sun, sun

  ➔ present continuous (progressive)

  ➔ The verb **"'re walking"** shows an action that is happening right now.

• Boy you turn me on

  ➔ simple present with transitive verb

  ➔ "turn" is a **transitive verb** that takes the object **"me"**.

• Let's turn up the love

  ➔ imperative with "let's" (suggestion)

  ➔ "Let's" = "let us" and invites the listener to **"turn up"** something together.

• We can dance, we can drive, we can shake if you wanna

  ➔ modal verb "can" + bare infinitive; informal "wanna"

  ➔ "can" expresses ability; the verbs **"dance", "drive", "shake"** appear without "to". **"wanna"** = "want to".

• The night is young and you're so fine, got me dancing the Lambada

  ➔ present simple "is"; contraction "you're"; causative "got + object + present participle"

  ➔ "got me dancing" uses **"got" + object + present participle** to mean "made me dance".

• We got sangria

  ➔ past simple "got" meaning possession (have)

  ➔ Here **"got"** is used like **"have"**: "We have sangria".

• Leave no conversation

  ➔ imperative verb without subject; zero article before uncountable noun

  ➔ **"Leave"** is an imperative verb; **"no conversation"** omits an article because "conversation" is treated as uncountable here.

• You had me at hello

  ➔ past simple "had" with object pronoun; idiomatic expression

  ➔ **"had"** is the past of "have"; **"me"** is the object. The phrase means "you impressed me instantly".
