Unlearning English

Did you know that the sentence "She had divorced him because he had had numerous affairs" is correct while the sentence " Who are you going to marry?" is not?
After blowing my sentence correction scores on a GMAT practice test , I decided to re-educate myself on English grammer and discovered such stimulating concepts as subjunctive mood infinitive verb form usages ,indefinite pronoun subject verb agreements and modifiers with relative pronouns. Learning English grammer has been un-learning English all over again:).

What a start to the weekend. Well, gots to go and unlearn some more .(Yes, yes I know " gots to go" and "un-learning all over again" are incorrect usages. Obviously, I need to study more)

Hope the rest of y'all are having more fun than me.
Peace!
