I think[*] that I have a reasonable grasp of grammar, but have no memory of really learning it. Which is a shame, because it might make it easier to teach (should I be in a position to do such a thing).
Doubtless the mother will be along in a minute to tell me that I, too, asked relentless questions about it. Possibly resulting in a series of occasions where "just because" actually is the correct answer.
(Actually, since you seem fairly grammatically informed, may I hear your opinion on the relative correctness/pleasantness/etc of the following two sentences:
1. In the evening, I headed out to the pub. 2. In the evening I headed out to the pub.
Other people who read this comment are also invited to have opinions too, of course.)
