You were extremely patient and flexible, especially during the challenging subject-verb agreement question (musings). When the student was clearly confused ("I really don't know, like, I'm thinking, like, this sounds really confusing"), you did not rush but instead adapted by simplifying the concept into its core components: checking whether the subject is possessive, singular, or plural, and then breaking down the verb conjugation (e.g., he eats, they eat). You recognized the student's need for a structured conceptual breakdown and delivered it clearly. Something that works for me is acknowledging the difficulty, as you did, and then patiently re-teaching the core rule.
