Key Grammar Structures

• SLEIGH BELLS RING, ARE YOU LISTENIN'?

  ➔ Present Continuous (interrogative)

  ➔ The auxiliary verb "ARE" + the –ing form "LISTENIN'" creates a present‑continuous question.

• IN THE LANE, SNOW IS GLISTENIN'

  ➔ Present Continuous (affirmative)

  ➔ "IS" + "GLISTENIN'" shows an ongoing action happening now.

• A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT, WE'RE HAPPY TONIGHT

  ➔ Simple Present with contraction

  ➔ "WE'RE" is the contracted form of "WE ARE", used in the simple present to state a fact.

• GONE AWAY IS THE BLUEBIRD, HERE TO STAY IS THE NEW BIRD

  ➔ Inversion for emphasis

  ➔ The normal order "The bluebird is gone away" is inverted to "GONE AWAY IS THE BLUEBIRD" for stylistic emphasis.

• HE SINGS A LOVE SONG AS WE GO ALONG

  ➔ Simple present + adverbial clause with "as"

  ➔ "AS" introduces a simultaneous action: "HE SINGS..." while "WE GO ALONG".

• BUT YOU CAN DO THE JOB WHEN YOU'RE IN TOWN

  ➔ Modal verb "can" + zero conditional

  ➔ "CAN" expresses ability; the clause "WHEN YOU'RE IN TOWN" is a present‑simple condition that is always true.

• LATER ON, WE'LL CONSPIRE AS WE DREAM BY THE FIRE

  ➔ Future simple with "will" + adverbial clause with "as"

  ➔ "WE'LL CONSPIRE" predicts a future action; "AS WE DREAM" shows that the conspiring happens while dreaming.

• THOUGH YOUR NOSE GETS A CHILLIN'

  ➔ Concessive clause with "though" + simple present

  ➔ "THOUGH" introduces a contrast: even if "YOUR NOSE GETS A CHILLIN'" the song continues.

• ROCKING ALL THE WAY TO SUGARLAND

  ➔ Gerund phrase functioning as a noun

  ➔ "ROCKING" is a gerund; the whole phrase names the activity "rocking" as a destination.
