grammar question from Esther

I wanna know some daily-used sentence structure just like,Peter mentioned today,"be going to...",etc.In conclusion,what's the key to speaking like a Native American English speaker?
Good night:)


Honestly this is also what I want to know. I discussed this topic with my roommate who is a undergraduate student in UCB and have lived here for several years. He said some sentences and terms are correct according to grammar, but seldom used by native speaker. For example, "it's fine" is more commonly used in daily life than "you are welcome" when other people expressing thankfulness or sorry. In other words, such things are unlikely to be learnt in classroom. So I think the key is to commonly chat with native speakers and learn how to use language from them.
