English is a language of West Germanic language, which was first used in England in the early Middle Ages and finally became the main language of international discourse in 2 1 century. It was named after the Angles, a branch of the ancient Germans, who later moved to Great Britain and were named after their name England.

Both names are derived from Angeria in the Baltic Peninsula. English is closely related to Frisian and Lower Saxon, but its vocabulary is greatly influenced by other Germanic languages (especially North Norwegian), Latin and French.

English has developed 1400 years. The earliest form of English is a group of West Germanic dialects brought to Britain by Anglo-Saxon immigrants in the 5th century A.D., collectively known as Old English. Middle English began at the end of 1 1, and Norman conquered England. During this period, English was influenced by ancient French, especially through the ancient Norman dialect. Early modern English began with the introduction of15th century into the printing press in London, the printing of King James Bible and the beginning of vowel changes.

Since17th century, modern English has spread all over the world under the extensive influence of the British Empire and the United States. Through various print and electronic media in these countries, English has become the main language of international discourse and the common language in many regions and professional fields (such as science, navigation and law). Modern English grammar is the result of gradual changes. This change is from typical Indo-European related marking patterns, abundant suffix patterns and relatively free word order to the majority.

There is almost no changing analysis mode, quite fixed active object order and complicated grammar. Modern English relies more on auxiliary verbs and word order to express complex tense, aspect and mood, as well as passive voice, questions and negative sentences.
