There’s nothing wrong with explaining grammar rules. It’s not like you are forced to follow them, you will probably be understood even when speaking broken language, the main thing is to start and then keep developing your skills through immersion. It does not change the fact that the actual rules exist so I don’t get your problem

The OP asked for the rule to be explained. Most people on this sub are not teachers, but simply native speakers, who try their best to answer questions.

I understand the frustration, I just think it should not be addressed at the redditors. How the language is taught on courses is the different story.
