I don’t know why I still don’t understand when I can use Presen/Past continuous, even if I know the rules of using I still can’t use it correctly in my speech.. I think it is because I don’t understand it properly. Recently I realized that finally I understood how to use “I have been V+ing” this tense and it makes me happy 😊 maybe sometimes I can make mistakes with this tense but I know it and the exact word is I “feel” it. But I am still struggling with Continuous tense( maybe in this case I use it correctly 😅) Can you give me some advice?

"Through further communication, she found that the man had a wide knowledge of arts." Is this sentence correct and natural? a. I feel "Through further communication" is too formal. How about I change it to "Through further communication? b. AI says "found" isn't the right word here. "Discovered" or "realized" would be the right word. But I think "found" is correct here. Am I right? c. Is "arts" here clear enough? Should I use "the arts" instead? Thanks!
