American English Grammar vs. British English Grammar
There are many differences between American English and British English’s grammar, some differences include a different use in the present and perfect tense British English speakers tend to use the perfect tense a lot more often than American English speakers, an example of this can be:
Jenny feels ill. She ate too much. – American English
Jenny feels ill. She's eaten too much. – British English

American English has a habit of speaking contractions such as ‘’gonna’’ the non-standard form, British English speakers lean towards using the standard form such as ‘’going to’’.

Australian English
Australian English's grammar is nearly exactly the same as British English grammar the main difference is the pronunciation and vocabulary. The use of collective nouns in Australian English are usually singular nouns.
