 I can tell you that it seems the most difficult concept for English learners is which prepositions to use. It seems completely arbitrary, and even among the natives, there is disagreement on things like "opinion about"/ "opinion of" and (one that puzzled me as to the depths of the emotion it caused) "stand in line" / "stand on line."

 

Based on what I hear around me, learners still have trouble with the possessive before gerunds "I appreciate you coming on such short notice" when it should be "I appreciate your coming..." Also, whom is a source of confusion. People don't use it when they should and use it when they shouldn't

Teaching Grammar becomes difficult, when the teacher/student do not realize grammars are different for different languages. Even within the same family of Languages (Dravidian Languages), the rules of Grammar and usage differ from language to language.

Knowledge of grammar for the language used as one's mother tongue will be useful to a certain extent, but one cannot expect that the other languages also will follow the same set of rules.

One has to realize that the language used/accepted by the native speaker must be acceptable.
