- [Voiceover] Hi, everyone.
Hi, everyone. My name is David and I am
My name is David, and I'm here to introduce
here to introduce you to gramar on Khan Academy. Welcome, I´m so glad you can join me. So, let´s start by asking the question: "What is grammar?" What is this thing, why is it worth to study and why would you put up with listening to me?
First of all, grammar is a set of conventions and rules that govern language. So, what´s the difference between a convention and a rule? Well, a rule is a kind of a bare minimum of what it takes to make your language understandable by other people. Right, so, in order to a car work f.e. to make it forward as intended, the wheels have to go on
the bottom insted of on the roof. That´s a rule. The idea that all cars should be painted teal f. e. is a convention. Now, is that true, that all cars should be teal? No, not necessarily but that leads me to my second point that grammar is context-dependent.
The kind of grammar that you use throughout the day changes It depend on who you are talking to, what you are trying to say, and how you are trying to say it. And so we use multiple kinds of grammar throughout our days and our lives.
And another thing you need to know is that you already know so much grammar just from living and existing in the world and talking to other people. You know how to put a sentence together, if you can understand me than you know so much about
grammar, you know more than I can teach you. What these videos are for? Is to give a name to the things you already know, to give you a greater command of them. And I wanna say to these videos, they are
about a very specifc kind of grammar, called standard american English. But I want you to know there are many Englishes. And you know, what they are all great. They are all wonderfull and vibrant and important and special. And what I do not want to take away from these videos is
that I´m trying to teach you what is right and what is wrong. If the kind of English you speak doesn´t sound like the English I speak that is OK. You know, you´re great. What I want to do is give you
the tools to harness language. To harness English. And use it anyway you want. I mean I don´t care what color your car is, it could be pink, it could be green, it could be purple, it could be paisley. You know, I´m just trying to make sure
your wheels run straight. You are the grammarian. You´ve made a study of grammar throughout your entire speaking and reading life. And I firmly believe that you can learn
you to Grammar on Khan Academy. Welcome. I'm so glad you could join me.
