Giovanni's difficulty lies in syntax, which refers to the rules that govern the structure of sentences, including the order of words. His tendency to place verbs at the end of sentences indicates a problem with understanding or applying these structural rules, rather than issues with morphemes (the smallest units of meaning), phonemes (the smallest units of sound), or overregularization (applying grammatical rules too broadly).
