Acquisition
The first way is language acquisition. Language
acquisition is a subconscious process; language acquirers are not usually aware of the fact that they are acquiring language, but are only aware of the fact that they are using the language for communication.

We are generally not consciously aware of the rules of the languages we have acquired. Instead, we have a "feel" for correctness.
Grammatical sentences "sound" right, or "feel" right, and errors feel wrong, even if we do not consciously know what rule was violated.
