but recently,
some grammer books say that "5 patterns of sentence must be ignored".

"5 patterns of sentence"

I have never heard of them. What are they?

By the way, dont' ignore 5 patterns stuff, ignore grammer at all unless you study english professionaly. - This advice is only for those who are in limit of time, others can study as much grammer as they like. -
