Grammar:

• WE COULD LEAVE THE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS UP TIL JANUARY

  ➔ Modal verb 'could' + bare infinitive

  ➔ Uses the modal verb "could" to express a suggestion or possibility. "Could leave" suggests a relaxed, potential action rather than a firm plan.

• HAVE I KNOWN YOU TWENTY SECONDS OR TWENTY YEARS?

  ➔ Present Perfect + Question Formation with 'or'

  ➔ Uses the Present Perfect ("Have I known") to emphasize the experience and duration of knowing someone. The "or" introduces an alternative expressing the extremes of that experience.

• CAN I GO WHERE YOU GO?

  ➔ Modal Verb 'can' + Question Formation

  ➔ Uses "can" to ask for permission or express a desire to accompany someone. It's a direct and simple question.

• CAN WE ALWAYS BE THIS CLOSE FOREVER AND EVER?

  ➔ Modal Verb 'can' + Adverb of Frequency ('always') + Superlative ('this close') + Repetition

  ➔ "Can" expresses possibility and a desire for this state to continue. "Always" emphasizes the consistent desire for closeness. "This close" is functioning as a superlative. "Forever and ever" emphasizes the never-ending nature of the desire.

• I'VE LOVED YOU THREE SUMMERS NOW, HONEY, BUT I WANT EM ALL

  ➔ Present Perfect ('I've loved') + Time Expression ('three summers now') + Conjunction ('but') + Pronoun Contraction ('em')

  ➔ "I've loved" indicates a continuing state that began in the past and continues to the present. "Three summers now" gives a specific timeframe. "But" introduces a contrast, emphasizing the desire for more. "Em" is an informal pronoun contraction for 'them'.

• ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL TO END UP WITH YOU

  ➔ Shortened Form ('All's') + Relative Clause ('that ends well') + Infinitive of Purpose ('to end up')

  ➔ "All's" is a shortened form of "All is." "That ends well" is a relative clause modifying "well". "To end up with you" explains the purpose of things ending well.

• SWEAR TO BE OVERDRAMATIC AND TRUE TO MY LOVER

  ➔ Imperative ('Swear') + Infinitive with 'to be' + Adjectives connected by 'and'

  ➔ "Swear" is used in the imperative mood, making it a command. "To be overdramatic and true" uses the infinitive form of the verb "to be" to express a commitment or intention. The adjective "overdramatic" and "true" are connected by the conjunction "and,".
