No. Not many Americans are good at English Grammar. Because of their casual nature, they tend to speak very casually even in formal meetings.

English as the native language: The vast majority of Americans (around 80%) speak English as their native language, which gives them a natural advantage in terms of fluency and comprehension. Exposure to grammar in education: American education systems incorporate grammar instruction into their curriculum, providing students with basic knowledge of the language's rules. Widespread literacy: The literacy rate in the United States is high, surpassing 99%, indicating that most individuals possess the ability to read and write effectively, which often involves applying grammar rules. Functional illiteracy: Estimates suggest that roughly 14% of the US population falls within the category of "functionally illiterate," meaning they lack the basic reading and writing skills necessary to comprehend and produce grammatically correct text. Therefore, it's difficult to definitively say whether most Americans are good at English grammar. While they have numerous advantages, such as native language status and educational exposure, the prevalence of informal language, regional variations, and educational disparities create a complex picture. read less

I can say that I have a fair idea because I have lived worked, travelled and interacted with them for months at a stretch. They do have decent understanding of English grammar as it is their fisrt language. They do not make basic gender, subject verb agreement or prepositions mistakes like us.

No, all Americans are not. It is just like all Indians are not good at Hindi but can communicate somehow in Hindi with mixture of other dialects or accents.

English proficiency varies among Americans, with some being quite adept at grammar while others might struggle with certain aspects. Overall, competence in grammar can differ widely among individuals.

Can't really make a general statement about any country. They do have english as their mother tongue but it's just like us . For ex :Let's suppose you speak hindi , what if i ask you are you good at hindi grammer ? Theres less probability that you actually know hindi grammer.
