Key Grammar Structures

• Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful

  ➔ Use of 'will' for future tense with 'you' as the subject, forming a question.

  ➔ 'Will' is used to express a future action or question about the future.

• I've seen the world, done it all

  ➔ Present perfect tense used to indicate an experience or an action completed at an unspecified time.

  ➔ 'I've' is a contraction of 'I have', and combined with 'seen', it forms the present perfect tense to describe experience.

• When you and I were forever wild

  ➔ Use of 'were' as the past tense of 'are' in a subjunctive or conditional context.

  ➔ 'Were' indicates past tense, used here with 'I and you' to describe a state in the past.

• When he comes, tell me that You'll let him in

  ➔ Use of the simple present tense 'comes' for a scheduled future event, with a second clause in the imperative and future 'will' + 'let'.

  ➔ 'Comes' is present tense indicating a scheduled event, with the second clause expressing a future intention.

• All that grace, all that body

  ➔ Use of 'that' as a demonstrative pronoun to specify particular nouns with emphasis.

  ➔ 'That' emphasizes the qualities of the nouns it refers to, drawing attention to them.
