Is English hard?

When I was at high school, I had an discussion with my teacher about how hard english English can be. She told me that the only thing really hard for native Portuguese or even Spanish speakers is pronunciation. English has only 12 tenses. Portuguese has more than 50 (I guess think it is 56, but I'm not sure). Most of Portuguese tenses are not used in formal or informal communication today. Something that really bugs me about english English is the use of "have". I don't know exactly the exact rules to use  of using (the word) "have" and I tend to use examples of what I've read instead of applying the rules. I think I'll study a little bit more about it and I'll post another note tomorrow to see if I learned well.

"If I learned well" doesn't sound quite right. We would probably say ".....another note tomorrow and see how I go" or something like that.   Or "... another note tomorrow and see if I can use "have" properly"

Otherwise - great! Don't forget to use a capital letter for adjectives that derive from Proper nouns. You remembered for Spanish and Portuguese, but for a couple on "English" :)

With the "rules" sentence, you could also say :

I don't know the exact rules concerning the use of the word "have"...  OR

I don't know exactly how to use the word "have"....

 "the word" is optional in these sentences, but is more correct and makes the sentences clearer I think.
