Gramática:

• Past mistakes that you made come back to haunt you, you!

  ➔ 关系从句 ('that') 和一般现在时 (haunt)

  ➔ 关系从句 "that you made" 修饰 "Past mistakes"。使用一般现在时 "haunt"，因为它描述的是一个普遍真理或重复发生的事件。

• I wish I could take back everything that I did

  ➔ 虚拟语气 (Wish + 过去式)

  ➔ 这表达了对过去情况的遗憾。 "Wish" 后跟过去式从句，表示说话者希望与现在的现实有所不同。

• Promise me you will be there until the red light will change

  ➔ 在两个从句中使用将来时 (will)（承诺和时间从句）

  ➔ 在时间从句（"until the red light will change"）中使用 "will" 在语法上是可以接受的，尽管在 "until"、"when" 等连词之后使用一般现在时更为常见。说话者正在强调未来。

• I wanted to tell you, I really did

  ➔ 强调助动词 'did'

  ➔ 在这里使用 "did" 强调了 "I wanted to tell you" 这个陈述的真实性。它为说话者的话语增加了强度和信念。

• But how do I explain this?

  ➔ 疑问句结构，使用倒装（助动词 'do' 在主语 'I' 之前）

  ➔ 这演示了英语中用助动词提问的标准方法。助动词 "do" 在主语 "I" 之前，表明这是一个问题。
