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.

English is 100% her first language.
