Being a non-native speaker, i often struggle while trying to comprehend certain typical English phrases or sentences such as "modern art owes less to X than many experts believe" - i don't know why "than" is used here and what type of construction is this. There are numerous other examples, such as while reading a good newspaper article or some times while reading the arguments in scientific journal i had to struggle with comprehension and there is no one to help me with it; apart from Google where i usually stumble upon wrong sites! Is there any section where we can put these sentences so that the members of this forum can help in paraphrasing in simpler words ? Thanks
