59) Extended and unextended sentences in modern English

The English language has its origins in about the fifth century A.D., when tribes from the continent, the Jutes, the Saxons, and then the larger tribe of Angles invaded the small island we now call England (from Angle-land). Old English, the language of the Anglo-Saxons, is preserved in Beowulf (c. A.D. 800). Middle English developed following the Norman invasion of 1066, exemplified in Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (c. 1400). Modern English, dating from the sixteenth century, is exemplified in the plays of William Shakespeare (1564–1616). From the time the Pilgrims landed in America (1620), the language began to take its own course in this "New World." Expressions like "fixing to," which had never been used in England, were "cropping up" (an expression going back to Middle English) in the colonial press by 1716.So the American Revolution (1775–1783) not only created a new nation but also divided the English language into what H. L. Mencken, author of the classic study The American Language; An Inquiry into the Development of English in the United States, called "two streams." These streams diverged to produce different words with the same denotation (the American "trunk" of a car is a "boot" in England), different pronunciations for the same words (the American sked-ju-el is the British shed-ju-el), and different spellings (theater vs. theatre, labor vs. labour).By 1781, the word "Americanism" had been coined by John Witherspoon, a Scottish clergyman recruited to become president of Princeton University. These Americanisms, Witherspoon wrote, were not "worse in themselves, but merely …of American and not of English growth." The separation of the "two streams of English" was already noticeable. In his usual acerbic manner, Mencken applauded the American resistance to rules: "Standard [British] English must always strike an American as a bit stilted and precious"

60)The schematic of the English sentence.

Subject,

Predicate,

Supplement, and if more than one, first there is no excuse indirect, then direct, indirect ends with a preposition.

Circumstance, it is still possible to place before the subject at the beginning of sentences

For example: - Last night my friends came to visit me / My friends came to visit me last night.

This scheme for the affirmative proposition. If we are talking about the order of words in the English sentence, but interrogative, then determine for yourself the question word is always with us will be placed at the head of the proposal and he will be followed by an auxiliary verb. Then look at the scheme and again working as a declarative sentence. For example: "How much is this jacket? '. Note that the subject is in the last sentence. The order of words in the English sentence, this does not allow it. Translate: How much does this jacket cost? All the formalities are met.
