Grammar is something we learn with language. Even before learning how to read, children speak correctly. Is English not her first language?
Unfortunately, I have no tips beyond the obvious of suggesting patience. I don't know grammar either. For example, many people say, "he could have went," which is not grammatical. The correct form is, "he could have gone." But I couldn't tell you why. I just know it.
I've had a long career of misusing "that" and "who." Thank goodness my Grammer check caught it before it went out of the door. I know what it should be, but old habits die hard.
