on the court?

I don't [music]

Key Grammar Structures

• I can tell you why, but something inside is dancing with fire.

  ➔ Modal verb 'can' + Present Continuous

  ➔ Use 'can' for ability and 'is dancing' for an ongoing action inside.

• I hate that I made you love me.

  ➔ Causative structure 'made you love'

  ➔ The verb 'made' is used here to show that the singer is the cause of the other person's feeling.

• I can see right through like shadows on the moon.

  ➔ Phrasal verb 'see through'

  ➔ 'See through' means to detect or understand the true nature of something hidden.

• I'd be stuck in honey.

  ➔ Conditional 'would' + Passive voice

  ➔ The 'd be (would be) suggests a hypothetical state.

• I've got your protections when you felt so insecure.

  ➔ Present Perfect + Past Simple

  ➔ 'I've got' indicates a completed action with present relevance, while 'felt' marks a past state.

• Why you so hate to see women endure?

  ➔ Infinitive as object + Omission of auxiliary 'do'

  ➔ Informal speech omits 'do' in the question; 'to see' functions as the object of 'hate'.

• Is it really my fault you argue me a hard time on the court?

  ➔ Zero relative clause + 'Give/Argue someone a hard time'

  ➔ The relative pronoun 'that' is omitted before 'you argue'; 'arguing a hard time' is idiomatic.

• I'm kissed by the sun and cold like the wind.

  ➔ Passive Voice + Simile

  ➔ 'Is kissed' is passive, and 'like the wind' creates a simile for comparison.
