2 In fact, English is a Germanic language. The Anglo-Saxons contributed to the formation of English most of all.

3 English grammar is still very similar to German. Compare: Meine Freundin ist neun Jahre alt. (German) – My friend is nine years old. (English) Wir gehen in die Schule. (German) – We go to school. (English) Sie ist interessant. (German) – She is interesting. (English)

4 There are also a lot of French words in English from when William Duke of Normandy became the King of England in 1066.

5 French words in English: country, court, crime, prison, religion, prince, princess, royal, adventure, change, fruit, letter, literature, magic, male, female, mirror, question, special

6 You can find a lot of Scandinavian words in English too. They came from the times when the Vikings raided Britain.

8 The English alphabet came from Latin. Christian monks, who spoke Latin, brought it to England from Ireland.

10 It is very strange, but the Celtic language didnt contribute many words to modern English.
