Someone definitely needs to read and practice. Asking piecemeal
questions about fundamental properties of the language isn't generally
helpful.

This reminds me of a Chinese proverb:

"Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; show him how to catch
fish, and you feed him for a lifetime."

Answering scattered, piecemeal questions will only feed him for a day.
We cannot teach the man how to fish just in an answer"

This is provided by good books (such as Michael Kay's) or training.
