Reflect on English Grammar and its rules some more, it will help you
I have considered the question of English grammar, and would like to explain my conclusions. If you are interested in why the subject is important, it may be useful for me to provide an overview of what I mean by 'grammar,' although this is not essential. In order to achieve a meaningful understanding of grammar, we must first consider language as a system.
Language is a system of symbols and rules for combining these symbols. This much should be obvious to anyone who has studied language, or even written their own software. A symbol which represents an object can also represent the action related to that object, if they share properties; e.g., 'I' = 'me.' The same applies to words like 'run,' as in 'running,' and its root verb form.
The same can be said of other symbols; the semiotic approach to language. For example, a symbol which represents quantity may also represent quality when qualified by an adjective: 'much' = 'good.' The same method applies with time and space. This is called polysemy.
It is also possible for words to represent descriptive qualities, e.g., 'green' = 'grue.' This rule applies in reverse; green objects are grue.
The same applies to beliefs; the symbol of a belief is the thing believed. Beliefs are also social constructs, in that people can agree or disagree about them.
There is nothing that can be said about a belief without establishing it as fact. If you believe in unicorns, then they exist for you. If I disagree with your claim, the disagreement establishes this fact.
