Old English The invading Germanic tribes spoke similar languages，which in Britain developed into what we now call Old English.Old English didnt sound or look like English today.Native English speakers now would have great difficulty understanding Old English speakers.However，about half of the most commonly used words in Modern English have Old English roots. Middle English In 1066，the Norman invaded and conquered England.They also brought with them a kind of French，which became the language of the ruling and business classes.For a period，the lower classes spoke English and the upper classes spoke French.In the 14th century，English________ in Britain again，with many French words added.This language is called Middle English. Late Modern English The main difference between Early Modern English and Late Modern English is vocabulary.Late Modern English has many more words，resulting from two main factors：firstlycreated a need for new words；secondlyuage used foreign words from many countries. Now there are many other varieties of English in the world，such as Australian English，New Zealand English，Canadian English，South African English，Indian English and Caribbean English. 【词海拾贝】al n．到达时期阶段阶层因……发生；随……产生生产；制造【问题思考】1．The main idea of the text is _____________________________. 答案：the history of the English language答案：became a main languagelish and Late Modern English? _______________________________________________________ 答案：Vocabulary.
