However, once you are familiar with how a sentence is made up from several parts of speech, then you would know more about the English grammar and the next time you make a grammar mistake, you can focus directly into which parts of speech that you feel you still need to improve on.
Knowing about parts of speech structures your thought too. You will have a better idea of how the English grammar looks like.
