? HISTORY OF INTERNATIONAL ENGLISH LANGUAGE DAY

The origin of the English language started when three Germanic tribes invaded Britain during the 5th century A.D. The Angles, Saxons, and Jutes crossed the North Sea from what is known as modern Denmark and North Germany today. Upon their arrival, most people from Britain spoke the Celtic language. The invaders pushed them aside, forcing them to migrate to the west and north, which is now known as Wales, Ireland, and Scotland.

From 450 A.D. to 1100 A.D., the Germanic tribes developed the Old English language — the archaic version of the English that’s universally spoken today. The demise of Old English was seen in 1100 A.D. William the Conqueror— the Duke of Normandy — invaded England, which started the country’s linguistic division. Later on, the lower class spoke English and the upper class spoke French. This division evolved into a melting pot of language, then called Middle English — Old English added with French words — which eventually became Britain’s dominant language in the 14th century.

The rise of Modern English happened at the beginning of the 16th century when the language had a distinct shift in pronunciation. This shift is called the ‘Great Vowel Shift’ where vowels in the English language were pronounced shorter and shorter. Printing of texts and books started in this era, which standardized modern English as a staple in Britain. In 1604, the first English language dictionary was published.

The main difference between today’s English language and 16th-century Modern English is the vocabulary. Two factors contributed to this: the Industrial Revolution and the Global British Empire. The Industrial Revolution called for the need to use more words. On the other hand, this was also the height of the British Empire’s colony which covered a quarter of the world’s territories, forcing them to inevitably adopt foreign words in their vocabulary.

? English grammar can seem quite easy compared to some languages, but a small mistake can easily change the meaning of what you want to say.

? So here are some important rules that you should keep in mind when you speak and write English.

1️⃣ ?Adjectives and ?adverbs:
Make sure you use adjectives and adverbs correctly.
?Adjectives describe, identify and quantify people or things and usually go in front of a noun.
?They don’t change if the noun is plural.
?Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives and other adverbs and usually come after the verb.

For example:
✅ He’s a slow driver. (adjective)
✅ He drives slowly. (adverb)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

2️⃣ Use the correct conjugation of the verb:
Remember to change the verb to agree with the subject. The main subjects you need to be careful with are he, she and it because they have a different form to the others.

For example:
✅ She has two cats. 
❌ She have two cats.

Remember also that when you describe something using ‘There is/are’, the verb must agree with the first item you mention.

For example:
✅ There is a sofa, some chairs and a table. [Singular]
✅ There are some chairs, a table and a sofa. [Plural]

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

3️⃣ Connect your ideas with conjunctions:
If you want to connect two ideas or short phrases, you can do so by using a conjunction.

For example:
✅ I’m studying English. English is important. ??
✅ I’m studying English because English is important.

The most common conjunctions are:
and – [addition]
because – [to give the reason]
but – [to express contrast]
so – [to describe a consequence]
or – [to describe an alternative]

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

4️⃣ Never use a double negative:
In English there are often two ways to express a negative concept.

For example:
If you want to say “the room is empty”, you can say:
✅ There is nothing in the room. OR There isn’t anything in the room.

The words ‘nothing’ and ‘anything’ have the same meaning, but ‘nothing’ is used with an affirmative verb, and ‘anything’ is used with a negative verb.

This rule applies to other words like:
〰️ nobody – anybody
〰️ none – any

This is also true of the word ‘never’ when you talk about experience.
You can say:
✅ He’s never been to the U.S. OR He hasn’t ever been to the U.S.

The meaning is the same but in the second sentence the use of ‘ever’ means you need to make the verb negative.
