  ➔ "I'M" is a contraction of "I am", used in the present simple to state a fact.

• ARE YOU OK?

  ➔ Present simple question with subject‑auxiliary inversion

  ➔ "ARE" precedes the subject "YOU" to form a yes‑no question in the present simple.

• SO, WHERE DID HE GO?

  ➔ Past simple question with did‑support and subject‑verb inversion

  ➔ "DID" is the auxiliary for past‑tense questions; the main verb "GO" stays in base form.

• HE TOLD ME TO SEND HIM HIS STUFF TO THIS ADDRESS.

  ➔ Reported speech with infinitive of purpose (to + verb)

  ➔ "TO SEND" is an infinitive used after the reporting verb "told" to express the purpose of the command.

• HE'D BETTER NEVER COME BACK.

  ➔ Modal phrase "had better" + base verb (advice)

  ➔ "HE'D" is a contraction of "he had"; "had better" expresses strong advice or warning.

• LET ME SEE.

  ➔ Imperative with causative verb "let" + object + base verb

  ➔ "LET" is used here to ask permission; it is followed by the object "ME" and the base verb "SEE".

• IF HE WANTS HIS SHIT BACK, WE'RE GONNA SEND HIM HIS SHIT BACK.

  ➔ First‑conditional clause (if + present simple, will‑future) with informal "gonna"

  ➔ "IF" introduces a real condition; "WANTS" is present simple, and "WE'RE GONNA" is informal future meaning "we are going to".

• HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A WOMAN SCORNED.

  ➔ Archaic negative construction "no ... like" with subjunctive tone

• HOW LONG, HOW MUCH CAN A BROKEN HEART TAKE?

  ➔ Rhetorical question with modal "can" + verb (ability)
