Abstract: Surprisingly, skew derivations rather than ordinary derivations are more basic (important) object in study of the Grassmann algebras. Let $L_n=Klfloor{x}_1,\mathrm{...},x_{n}floor$ be the Grassmann algebra over a commutative ring $K$ with $1/2inK$, and $d$ be a skew $K$-derivation of $L_n$. It is proved that $d$ is a unique sum $d=d^{ev}+d^{od}$ of an even and odd skew derivation. Explicit formulae are given for $d^{ev}$ and $d^{od}$ via the elements $d(x_1),\mathrm{...},d(x_n)$. It is proved that the set of all even skew derivations of $L_n$ coincides with the set of all the inner skew derivations. Similar results are proved for derivations of $L_n$. In particular, $De{r}_K(L_n)$ is a faithful but not simple $Au{t}_K(L_n)$-module (where $K$ is reduced and $ngeq2$). All differential and skew differential ideals of $L_n$ are found. It is proved that the set of generic normal elements of $L_n$ that are not units forms a single $Au{t}_K(L_n)$-orbit (namely, $Au{t}_K(L_n)x_1$) if $n$ is even and two orbits (namely, $Au{t}_K(L_n)x_1$ and $Au{t}_K(L_n)(x_1+x_2\mathrm{...}{x}_n)$) if $n$ is odd.
