Grammar
Grammar Rules:
A lot of English Grammar has overlapping meanings. So you have a few options to make the sentence that has the same meaning. You don’t need to memorize or really even study grammar that hard. You just need to be aware of the forms of words, accompanying prepositions and what is common.
Grammar rules to NEVER forget:
Singular or Plural? How many?
