ENGLISH MIDDLE SCHOOL

Could someone explain to me the origins of the english language?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The history of the English language really started with the arrival of three Germanic tribes who invaded Britain during the 5th century AD. These tribes, the Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes, crossed the North Sea from what today is Denmark and northern Germany. At that time the inhabitants of Britain spoke a Celtic language. But most of
the Celtic speakers were pushed west and north by the invaders - mainly into what is now Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The Angles came from Englaland and their language was
called Englisc - from which the words
England and English are derived.
Germanic invaders entered Britain on the east and south coasts in the 5th century. English is a West Germanic language that originated from the Anglo-Frisian dialects
brought to Britain by Germanic invaders from various parts of what is now northwest Germany and the Netherlands. Initially, Old English was a diverse group of dialects, reflecting the varied origins of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of England. One of these
dialects, Late West Saxon , eventually came to dominate. English is a member of the Indo-European family of languages. This broad family includes most of the European languages spoken today. The Indo-European
family includes several major branches:
Latin and the modern Romance
languages :

~The Germanic languages

~The Indo-Iranian languages,
including Hindi and Sanskrit;

~The Slavic languages;
~The Baltic languages of Latvian

and Lithuanian (but not
Estonian);

~The Celtic languages; and
Greek.
Answer 2
Answer: So this is gonna be it in the most basic version.
In Europe there was Proto-Indo European then Indo european. These languages where alot like English but with often very different consonants used. Then Germanic English, then just a whole cluster of different dialects collaborated and eventually in England we began to speak English.

Answers

The correct answers are:

  1. The man whose house we stayed in is my uncle.
  2. The guy who sold me my car is a crook.
  3. Which pen did he give you? The blue one.
  4. ..., whose ball I found. (Clearly, there is a mistake at the beginning of the sentence but the context helps to identify the correct relative pronoun.)
  5. His last book, which I didn't read, was very successful.
  6. I don't know which way to go.
  7. Which of the Beatle's album is your favourite?

Who, which and whose are relative pronouns.

  • Who only refers to people. It is used in 2 because it refers to "The guy"
  • Whose refers to people or things. It is used in 1 because it refers to "the man". The "house" belongs to "the man". In sentence 4, "whose" indicates that the "ball" belongs to somebody.
  • Which refers to objects and animals. It refers to the "pen" in sentence 3, to "his last book" in sentence 5 and to "the Beatle's album" in 7.

But none of those are the kind of the things that would cheer people up. D. is your best answer.
