Well, it's hard to really say that there are any rules in English, as we technically lack an authority to say what is right.

However, Oxford has a usage guide for both American English and British English. [In my opinion, Oxford/the OED are the closest English has to an authority].

Garner's American and British guides are also well-regarded.

/u/imhere_nowwhat had the long and short of it: read.

Unless you need to know what 'connective and all that jazz' mean for your work, then don't bother.

Natively, a language is learned by acquiring and repeating patterns. Acquisition in this day and age is easy: get a book, rent a movie, and expose yourself to the language.

When you feel you've mastered the basics of it, read more difficult books. It's not the 'reading loop', it's the only certified way, the only way authors and professors agree on. Grab John M. Harrison, Gene Wolfe or Pynchon (you're not ready for Pynchon).

Read daily, even 15-20 minutes, and expose yourself to the best way possible to say things. That's how you'll learn.

If you need Grammar... a basic guide will get you started, but that still needs to be applied to reading a book or watching a movie - simply going through a book isn't going to help you.
