I never learned this in school, developed a bit of an intuition later. Still don't know whether I'm doing it right.

It's the sort of thing any native speaker would feel petty correcting you on.

I get this, but I'd really love to be corrected. How else would I learn the nuances?

I know, right! It's like we're colluding to guarantee you'll never speak perfect English!
