Learning things about my own language.

I started testing future students for English class last night. That is where they come and I ask questions is English until they can’t answer any more and then determin their level. Anyway I had one gentleman walk up to me and in his introduction he said “Good Night” It really through my for a loop, but I ignored it at the time and went on with the conversation.
Last night has I was getting ready for bed I thought about it some more. I realize that we use Good Morning and Good Afternoon has introductions, but not Good Night. Which is why to my student it made perfect senese to use Good Night. Also thought about what we would use Good Evening and how I would explain the difference between Good Night and Good Evening.
It’s the simple things that you don’t think about that catch you off gaurd, they sound wrong, but you don’t know the rule. Such as when do you put a s after a verb when you are talking in present tense. Another question that I knew the answer too but I did not know how to explain it.
I sit
You sit
She sits
He sits
We sit
They sit
You (pl.) sit

Right before I went to bed I smiled, I think that, wait no I know that this is not going to be easy, but when it is over I will understand the English language better than I ever had before.
