None of your options for how I learned grammar fit:
I did not learn grammar at school at all; I learned grammar from reading copiously, my mother (who did learn grammar in school) proofreading my essays, and by checking things I'm not sure of in stylebooks. I learned about parts of speech by studying Russian, ironically enough.
I have a few grammar issues I'm iffy on, my punctuation oscillates between UK and US if I don't pay close attention to it, and I can't diagram a sentence to save my life, but my grammar and punctuation are much better than "okay."
