grammar courses

Language structure lessons

Grammar courses are classes that teach the rules and structures of language—parts of speech, sentence construction, punctuation, and usage conventions.

The term typically refers to formal instruction in schools or language programs: I took several grammar courses before feeling confident in my writing.

Grammar courses may focus on a student's native language or on learning a foreign one.
