Key Grammar Structures
-
I'ma make you dance to it.
➔ Causative verb + bare infinitive; Future intention with 'going to' contraction
➔ In "I'ma", the speaker shortens "I am going to" to show a future plan. The verb "make" followed by an object and a bare infinitive ("dance") forms a causative construction.
-
Girl, what's it gon' take to have you close to me?
➔ Interrogative with 'what' + future intention (going to) + infinitive
➔ The phrase "what's it gon' take" asks about the required effort; "gon'" is a contraction of "going to" indicating future intention, followed by the infinitive "to have".
-
I know you like European cars.
➔ Present simple + object clause (that‑clause omitted)
➔ The verb "know" is in the present simple and is followed directly by the clause "you like European cars"; the usual "that" is omitted.
-
I had Shorty in the telly working all three holes.
➔ Past simple + present participle (verb‑ing) as result/resultative clause
➔ The main clause "I had Shorty in the telly" is in the past simple; the participle phrase "working all three holes" describes the state/result of that situation.
-
I can't let you shine.
➔ Modal verb + bare infinitive (let + object + verb)
➔ "Can't" is the negative modal of ability/permission, followed by the causative verb "let" and the bare infinitive "shine".
-
You can't get on my level, that'll take a lifetime.
➔ Modal verb + infinitive; Contraction "that'll" (that will) + future simple
➔ "Can't" expresses inability; "get" is a bare infinitive. "That'll" is short for "that will", predicting a future result.
-
I don't care about crime.
➔ Negative present simple with verb "care" + preposition "about"
➔ "Don't" is the negative form of "do" in the present simple; "care" takes the preposition "about" to introduce the thing one is indifferent to.
-
I'm a walking white line.
➔ Present simple "be" + noun phrase with present participle used as adjective
➔ "I'm" is the contraction of "I am" (present simple of "be"). "Walking" is a present participle that describes the speaker as a moving "white line".
-
This is the Unit.
➔ Simple present "be" + definite article + noun (identification)
➔ "This" is a demonstrative pronoun; "is" is the present simple of "be"; "the Unit" is a noun phrase that identifies the subject.
