English Grammar in Use – Evolution of Grammar

English can claim to be one of the richest languages. In any case, it is the most widely spoken

language in the World. It is interesting to note that English has always evolved and is still

evolving with new words being added and grammar undergoing changes in line with

contemporaneous usage. You can say English is of recent origins if you compare it to Sanskrit,

one of the ancient languages no longer in common use. English language draws from Anglo

Saxon customs. It has some of its roots in the Celtic cultures of Wales, Scotland and Ireland.

Then again, England was besieged by invaders from the Continent who spoke a mixture of

German, Dutch and Scandinavian languages that all had an influence on the language. This is

one reason for the way some words are spelt and pronounced, even to this day. If that is not

enough, the Normans from across the Channel conquered England and their brand of French as

well as Latin left indelible marks on English and enriched it still more while adding twists and

turns in grammar and usage. By the sixteenth century English language was well defined but was

still evolving. Meanwhile England started colonizing other parts of the World even as the

language dropped some usages while gaining new ones. Today’s English is a far cry from that

used in the sixteenth century. American English is partly responsible as is the contribution of the

Colonies. The language has become enriched but grammar has become convoluted and not easy

to unravel; at least not for the less educated.

All these changes that make English grammar what it is today are reflected in a large database of

language tools that forms part of Nounplus.net, the perfect English grammar checker online that

checks your writing and suggests suitable modifications to make it perfect.
