A big list of general grammar rules?
Hello,
I'm doing some experiments with sentence structure and am trying, with little progress, to find a list of general grammar rules.
e.g. "a noun is often preceded by an article"
"an adjective can be placed before a noun"
.... etc.
(I don't know if those are good examples, but I hope you get what I mean.)
Has anyone seen anything like this around? If not, I would love it if you could tell me any rules that you know.
Thanks,
Joe

No, but I'm looking for the more general rules rather than aesthetic rules. Rules that govern what sentences mean rather than aesthetics. I don't know how to explain it too well, but "a __ is always followed by ___ or a ___", "an interjection is usually __" sort of stuff.... if that makes sense. Can you send me in the right direction?

I cannot see what aesthetics has to do with it, but I think you're headed in the wrong direction. Since you don't even have a grammar book, I suggest that you buy one and get started learning the language in a more conventional way. I have never seen a 'list of rules' such as you imagine.
