Why english is hard to learn

[DiaperboyEddie12]

So it is hard to learn.  I am learning it all the time and still can grasp simple grammar.

My only problem with English is when to use "to" and "too".

"I'm going to go out to eat."

"I'll come too."

"Table for two please."

 

 

Oooh, the best one is There, Their, and They're.

Good thing, we have Doctors of English. ?

Your and You're.

And I see so much of "are" used where it should be "our" that makes me want to reach out and smack the people that do it!

To perform the needed "medical care" when people butcher the language!

as a child in school, i was taught

there = if it's not here it's there, the remote is over there.

Their = heir to the throne (possession), it is their diaper.

they're, was covered in contractions, if using one word instead of two, an apostrophe replaces the missing letters.

 

i wasn't overly fond of English, but simplifications like this made it more enjoyable.

The best part about English, and I'm sure other languages, is the flexibility. You could use all three interchangeably, and in most cases the context of the sentence will tell us which one you meant.
