Key Grammar Structures

• Don't act like you wasn't watching me.

  ➔ Subjunctive/Hypothetical Past with 'like'

  ➔ The use of "wasn't" instead of "weren't" reflects colloquial African American Vernacular English (AAVE) often used in pop, where the speaker suggests an unreal condition.

• You can't buy my anus.

  ➔ Modal verb of inability

  ➔ The modal verb "can't" expresses a complete lack of ability or possibility to perform the action.

• Your boyfriend pass a lot.

  ➔ Present Simple for habitual action

  ➔ The structure "pass a lot" uses the present simple to describe a recurrent or habitual behavior.

  ➔ Temporal clause with 'when'

  ➔ The "when" clause establishes the timeframe or trigger event for the main action.

• You better get a ticket.

  ➔ Had better (Advice/Warning)

  ➔ The contraction "'d better" (often spoken as 'better') functions as a strong suggestion or warning.

  ➔ Relative Clause with 'what'

  ➔ The pronoun "what" acts as a nominal relative pronoun meaning "the thing that".

  ➔ After the verb "watch", the base form "play" is used to describe the action being witnessed.
