Key Grammar Structures

• This is my decision.

  ➔ Simple present + linking verb + noun complement

  ➔ The word "decision" functions as a noun complement after the linking verb "is".

• I don't think you listen.

  ➔ Negative present simple + verb of cognition + infinitival clause without "to"

  ➔ "think" is a verb of cognition that can be followed by a bare infinitive clause "you listen".

• For me to come out, it must mean I'm not the same.

  ➔ Infinitival purpose clause (for + noun + to‑infinitive) + modal verb + bare infinitive

  ➔ "For me to come out" is an infinitival clause expressing purpose; "must" is a modal followed by the bare infinitive "mean".

• Give me one break. I need faith.

  ➔ Imperative sentence + direct object + noun phrase; Simple present for state

  ➔ "Give" is an imperative verb; "me" is the indirect object, "one break" is the direct object. "I need" uses simple present for a current need.

• Faith to believe you.

  ➔ Noun + infinitive of purpose (to‑infinitive) as post‑modifier

  ➔ "Faith" is followed by the infinitive "to believe" which indicates purpose: faith "to believe you".

• I don't need nothing.

  ➔ Negative present simple with double negative (non‑standard)

  ➔ The sentence uses two negatives—"don't" and "nothing"—which in standard English would be "I don't need anything".

• Only me and you.

  ➔ Elliptical clause; subject omitted, coordination with conjunction "and"

  ➔ "Only" modifies the coordinated noun phrase "me and you". The verb "are" is understood: "(We are) only me and you."

• Make me a blessing.

  ➔ Causative verb "make" + object + object complement (noun)

  ➔ "Make" causes the subject (implied) to cause "me" to become "a blessing"; "a blessing" is the object complement.

• Give me something I'm lacking.

  ➔ Imperative + direct object + relative clause (present participle as adjective)

  ➔ "something" is the direct object; "I'm lacking" is a reduced relative clause where "lacking" functions as a present participle adjective modifying "something".
