i am a native english speaker, but sometimes when i speak to foreigners who have a thick accent and bad grammar, missing words in phrases, i sometimes, without my realization, start to talk in their style, breaking up my sentences to mimic theirs lol.

Therefore, relying on elaborate sentence patterns to get your point across will fail in many contexts, and especially in heated situations. And it can get even more difficult with non-native speakers.
