I think that to know the structure of a sentence in a language is very important. I have always had problems to remember what is the adjective, predicate, noun, etc. I have learned how to write sentences whit a lot of practice but of course I am still learning grammar. For example, today I was studying French basic grammar and I got confused a little when I read “adjective”, “noun”, etc because I didn't remember their meanings at the moment. So I preferred to stop and I decided to focus in the structure of a sentence and to remember meanings. I made like a cheat sheet, where I wrote the structure of a sentence in Spanish, English, France and Italian, all this with the objective of to facilitate my learning with grammar. I will try this new mood, so I hope to have positive results.

Excellent writing!! Note 1 - "knowing" (gerund) is better. "I think that knowing ..." Note 2 - "... is important" is odd. English prefers new and heavy information at the end of the sentence. "It is important to know the structure of a sentence in a language." useful link: https://www.thoughtco.com/end-weight-grammar-1690594. Note 3 - "remembering" (gerund) is better. Note 4 - "what are nouns, predicates, ..." Plural without an article is a more modern way to indicate a general category. See English Grammar in Use Unit 75 (children/the children). Note 5 - order of adjectives. English Grammar in Use Unit 99. Useful link: https://www.ef.com/ca/english-resources/english-grammar/ordering-multiple-adjectives. Note 6 - "sentence structure" is better. Compound noun (noun+noun). See English Grammar in Use Unit 80.

I think understanding the structure of a sentence in a language is very important. I have always had problems remembering the meaning of adjective, predicate, noun, etc. I have learned how to write sentences with a lot of practice but of course I am still learning grammar. For example, today I was studying French basic grammar and I got confused a little when I read “adjective”, “noun”, etc. because I didn't remember their meanings right away. So I decided to stop and focus on the structure of a sentence and to remember meanings. I made a cheat sheet, where I wrote the structure of a sentence in Spanish, English, France and Italian, all this with the objective of facilitating my learning with grammar. I will try this new method, and I hope to have positive results.
I'm jealous that you know so many languages. I am the opposite: I understand parts of speech, no problem, but my mind is blank when I need to say something.
