Children seem to always figure out the details eventually, whereas many second language learners seem to miss out on some details unless explicitly corrected, and even then find it hard to change established speaking habits. I’m not sure anyone really knows why this is, but it’s one reason why some people recommend trying very hard to avoid speaking (and listening to others speak) incorrect sentences when learning a language.
