Key Grammar Structures

• Tastes like strawberries

  ➔ Simple Present Tense with 'like' for comparisons

  ➔ The phrase uses the simple present tense to describe a general sensation or characteristic. Here, the verb "tastes" indicates the flavor is similar to strawberries. The subject of the sentece is implicitly 'It' which refers to Watermelon sugar

• On a summer evenin'

  ➔ Prepositional Phrase indicating Time/Setting; elision (dropping 'g')

  ➔ This is a prepositional phrase setting the scene. The "'" represents the dropped 'g' in 'evening', a common feature in informal speech and song lyrics.

• I want more berries and that summer feelin'

  ➔ Simple Present with 'want' expressing desire; demonstrative adjective 'that'; elision ('g')

  ➔ 'Want' expresses a desire. 'That summer feelin'' refers to a specific, shared experience or feeling associated with summer. The missing 'g' makes the sentance sound informal.

• Breathe me in

  ➔ Imperative with 'in' as an adverbial particle

  ➔ "Breathe" is a verb in the imperative mood, giving a command or instruction. "In" modifies "breathe", specifying the direction of the breath.

• I don't know if I could ever go without

  ➔ Conditional sentence (Type 2 implied) with negative contraction 'don't' and modal verb 'could'; use of 'ever' for emphasis

  ➔ This implies a hypothetical situation. 'Could' expresses a lack of ability or a conditional possibility. 'Ever' emphasizes the speaker's strong feeling.

• Watermelon sugar, high

  ➔ Noun phrase followed by an adjective; elliptical sentence.

  ➔ This is a concise phrase where the verb is implied (e.g., Watermelon sugar *is* high, or Watermelon sugar *makes me* high). 'High' acts as an adjective describing the effect.

• Baby, you're the end of June

  ➔ Simple Present Tense; metaphorical use of 'the end of June'

  ➔ The simple present tense states a current characteristic. 'The end of June' is a metaphor, suggesting the peak or culmination of something desirable, as June is often associated with the height of summer.

• Getting washed away in you

  ➔ Present Participle used as a noun (Gerund) with preposition 'in'

  ➔ 'Getting' functions as a gerund, acting as the subject or object of the implied verb. The whole phrase suggests being completely immersed or overwhelmed by someone.
