Introduction to Grammar | Grammar | Khan Academy

Khan Academy Grammarian David Rheinstrom welcomes you to his favorite topic: the study of language, its rules, and its conventions. By understanding English – by speaking it, by writing it, by reading this very sentence – you are a grammarian yourself!

Grammar on Khan Academy: Grammar is the collection of rules and conventions that make languages go. This section is about Standard American English, but there's something here for everyone.

About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

For free. For everyone. Forever. #YouCanLearnAnything

"You can learn anything . David out." best line.

Wow... I've NEVER seen such an amazing intro for grammar lessons!
I'm a teenager in India and love English language A LOT! I'm interested in grammar too. Never thought I'd be getting such a cool teacher to learn grammar. Even though this video is 6 years old, it's still refreshing 😀❤

The only 2 words I can use to describe this - absolute perfection.

[trickytreyperfected]

This is how school should be taught. Then children would be so much more excited about school. They'd want to learn.

[kayw]

You are giving a lof of positive energy to other people.

This is not just for people who speaks English natively, but also to people who wants to speak English or is learning to speak English.

[neonseacow]

Wow, David you really showed such an open minded and positive way in learning about English. I am very excited to take your course along side my actual English course.

[serenity]

I love that you added that note about all grammar being acceptable, and not just the Standard American English style. A lot of people are under the notion that there can be only one.

Well, i wasn't expecting a motivational speech on a video called "Introduction to Grammar", but that was kind cool. 😄

[puppalavinay]

From 1:34 : Yes its absolutely true, we already know a lot of grammar unknowingly, these videos are for having greater command on them and improve our ability to know consciously and control our communication vibes.. Yes, the last sentence Your can learn anything is awesome...

[kaci]

"david out" wow...he's so cool

[addeleven]

david, i love how supportive you are, also in your other videos. (studying linguistics in germany, so i really liked the noun explanations. even if none of that is rocket science.) and, this is not about grammar, but i've had somewhat of a rough day today, and i got just a teeny bit teary-eyed from watching this. keep doing your thing, david, you're great.

[ragnarlothbrok]

Wow! This is what all educators should do. Instill confidence in the learners. I'm really excited to learn from Mr.David.
