Today, I'm showing you exactly which grammar rules to FORGET—and what to do instead to speak naturally and confidently. THE 5 GRAMMAR RULES TO FORGET: ❌ Rule #1: Articles (A, An, The) ❌ Rule #2: Perfect Tenses (Present Perfect, Past Perfect) ❌ Rule #3: Modal Verbs (Should, Would, Could, Must) ❌ Rule #4: Conditional Sentences (If-Then Structures) ❌ Rule #5: Subject-Verb Agreement These rules slow you down, make you nervous, and stop you from speaking naturally.
