Except that we really don’t use Latin Grammar. Anyone who has studied German or Russian understands that as both languages use Latin Grammar with all the cases - accusative, dative, generative etc. Ours is simplified as were French, Spanish, Portugese, Italian etc.

No, but when they had to translate they were instructed how to turn it into proper English. The Latin also forced them to be more aware of proper grammatical forms in English.
