Motions also accept count number as arguments (I will discourse this in the next chapter). If you need to go up 3 lines, instead of pressing `k` 3 times, you can do `3k`. Count works with Vim grammar.

Right now, you may have to think long and hard to do even a simple command. You're not alone. When I first started, I had similar struggles but I got faster in time. So will you. Repetition, repetition, repetition.

As a side note, linewise operations (operations affecting the entire line) are common operations in text editing. In general, by typing an operator command twice, Vim performs a linewise operation for that action.

## Learn Vim Grammar the Smart Way
You just learned about Vim grammar's rule: `verb + noun`. One of my biggest Vim "AHA!" moments was when I had just learned about the uppercase (`gU`) operator and wanted to uppercase the current word, I *instinctively* ran `gUiw` and it worked! The word was uppercased. At that moment, I finally began to understand Vim. My hope is that you will have your own "AHA!" moment soon, if not already.

The goal is this chapter is to show you the `verb + noun` pattern in Vim so you will approach learning Vim like learning a new language instead of memorizing every command combinations.

Learn the pattern and understand the implications. That's the smart way to learn.
