‘’History of English language’’

The history of the English language dates back to the pre-medieval period
when Anglo-Saxon, a Germanic language, was brought to the British Isles
by the Anglo-Saxon tribes, the ancient inhabitants of Britain. Over the
centuries, various developments occurred in the English language,
including the influence of Latin, French, and other European languages.
During the Middle English period, a greater influence of the French
language occurred due to the Norman rule over Britain. This led to the
addition of many new vocabulary and structures to the English language.
Over time, English gradually took on the shape we recognize today.
Throughout the centuries, further developments have occurred in the
English language, including the impact of imperialism on the spread of
English worldwide and the influence of new media such as the internet
and social media.
Today, English is recognized as one of the most widely used and
important languages in the world, playing a crucial role in international
communications, trade, technology, science, culture, and the arts.

‘’Structure of the English Language’’

 Grammar of English!
English grammar is the set of structural rules governing the composition
of sentences, phrases, and words in the English language. Understanding
and applying these rules is crucial for effective communication in both
spoken and written forms. Here's a brief overview of some key
components of English grammar that you might want to include in a
monograph:

1. Parts of speech: Understanding the different roles that words


play in a sentence is fundamental to English grammar. The main
parts of speech include:
 Nouns: Words that represent people, places, things, or ideas
(e.g., cat, London, happiness).
 Verbs: Words that express actions, states, or occurrences
(e.g., run, jump, think).
 Adjectives: Words that describe or modify nouns (e.g., tall,
blue, delicious).
 Adverbs: Words that modify verbs, adjectives, or other
adverbs, often indicating manner, place, time, or degree (e.g.,
quickly, there, now, very).
 Pronouns: Words that replace nouns (e.g., he, she, they, it).
 Conjunctions: Words that connect words, phrases, or
clauses (e.g., and, but, or).
 Prepositions: Words that establish relationships between
nouns or pronouns and other words in a sentence (e.g., in, on,
at, with).
 Interjections: Words or phrases that express emotions or
sentiments (e.g., wow, oh, ouch).

2. Sentence structure:
 Sentences can be categorized based on their structure:
simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex.
 Understanding subjects, predicates, objects, clauses, and
phrases is essential for constructing grammatically correct
sentences.

 English verbs change their form to indicate the time of an
action or state. The three primary tenses are past, present,
and future, each with simple, continuous (progressive),
perfect, and perfect continuous forms.

4. Subject-verb agreement:
 Verbs must agree in number with their subjects. Singular
subjects take singular verbs, and plural subjects take plural
verbs.

ensuring readability. Common punctuation marks include
periods, commas, semicolons, colons, apostrophes, quotation
marks, question marks, and exclamation points.

specific people, places, or things), the first word in a sentence,
and titles.

4
7. Article
 The English language has two types of articles: definite (the)
and indefinite (a/an). Knowing when and how to use articles
correctly is important for sentence structure.

8. Modifiers:
 Adjectives and adverbs are modifiers that provide additional
information about nouns and verbs, respectively.
Understanding how to place modifiers correctly in a sentence
is crucial for clarity and coherence.

9. Parallelism:
 When listing items or actions in a sentence, they should be
structured in a parallel manner to maintain coherence and
balance.
