/^t/The next area of language I am going to present is grammar. People are afraid of grammar. When they hear that there are 16 tenses in English, sometimes they give up. They compare it to Polish situation when there are only three: present future and past. But this group of people who decide to try after a while finds out that it is not as difficult as it seemed. What it is know about English grammar is that it is quite regular. It means there are no many exceptions. There are also not many rules to remember, so if we put on one hand a simplicity of grammar and on the other 16 tenses, what sounds for some people like a nightmare, English grammar is simple and easy to learn.
