The idea
Take the hard sentence alone. Find its main verb, then its subject, then say the plain version aloud in your head. If the plain version is a sentence that could be spoken at a bus stop, the grammar has been solved.
In practice
Say the plain version silently.
Where people slip
If it is not a sentence, retry.
