Khan Academy Now Offers Grammar
We’re excited to bring you our newest subject - Grammar! We created Grammar to help both native and non-native English speakers at all levels. In the new course, our resident grammarian, David, and our team of grammar experts explain punctuation, parts of speech, style and usage, and Standard American English conventions. As with our other subjects, your child can review topics and work on practice exercises at their own pace.
English varies throughout the world. We focus on Standard American English in this course, but we acknowledge that it's not the only "correct" form of English. We want to help your child feel confident that the English they speak is great, whether they’re in Birmingham, Brooklyn, or Busan.

Onward,
Girish
Director of Special Content Initiatives
