One of the nicer revelations in learning languages for me is that even native speakers wouldn't "know" the rules of their own language and operate largely by feelings anyway~
So instead of trying to perfectly understand all the rules it is better to train my mind, somehow, so that I can start to "feel" things like them

True. I'm not a native English speaker, but I am fluent, and so often I indeed feel my way around.
It's weird when I think about it, that I trust my gut instinct so often, but if you've trained by consuming enough of the language it does work. You start recognizing when you're trying to construct a tense, but you did a mistake, and it doesn't sound familiar.
