The reason there’s basic words and grammar structures you still can’t understand is that: they’re actually
not basic at all. You see, in every language there’s a subset of words and gramatical structures that are
extremely hard to grasp despite being some of the most common elements of the language. Assuming
these elements should be easy just because they are frequently used is an extremely common mistake
that ends up causing language learner a lot of frustration.
