I know, and it is crazy.

Actually some of us think we know grammar just because we can recognize (or recognise, just to make you feel homey ) parts of grammar such as tenses and words such as prepositions, etc... what sometimes most of usdo not even recall those and only when we start dwelling with them when taking a language course is when we start to "sport" them.

So again, it is difficult not to answer as you did, but there should be a middle point in all of this. Maybe if some of the readers would dare to post their apprehensions concerning the language we could try to help them better.
