One fact per card. Learn the pattern first, then card the exceptions separately — "at night" survives every "in + part of day" rule.
Rate honestly. After each card, choose Again, Hard, Good, or Easy — the spaced repetition algorithm uses your answer to decide when the card returns, right before you'd forget it.
A few minutes daily beats marathons. Ten new cards a day is roughly 3,650 a year, retained. Deep dives: How to learn a language with flashcards · What is active recall? · How many flashcards per day?.
