I'm from America and this was taught in primary school. At school you learn a lot about English grammar. I'm sure it's similar in Japan with Japanese grammar.

The grammar I was taught in school was basically linguistic phlogiston theory. The 20th century might as well not have happened.

Well, you get told it in primary school.

In practice, we don’t get tested on identifying the proper grammar structure much, and so probably the vast majority of people forget how to classify it as adults. I know I have.
