Answer

I'm with Peachy here.  If two fairly decent native English speakers like us have a hard time understanding it, it's poorly written.

Answer

What a confusing way of writing it! ;)  I had to read it several times also.

"Catches" is the noun.  "Highlight" is the verb. Although at first glance, it looks like the opposite.  The clue is "its" without an apostrophe, meaning possessive, so "catches" must be a plural noun.  The 'catches' of English.

"Its catches" = the difficult parts of English.  Where you get caught on a rule of grammar, for example.

"Highlight" as a verb means to make more important.  Check the word "highlighter (pen)" to get a clear meaning of the verb.
