Throughout history, people from many different countries and cultures have lived together in Britain.61. That is why English is a language with so many confusing rules. The English language is made up of the rules and vocabulary each group of people brought to Britain with them.

62. 古英语与我们今天所说的英语大不相同. The invasion of three Germanic tribes helped create the language Anglo-Saxon. Then the Vikings invaded Britain. They brought with them their languages, which also mixed with Anglo-Saxon. 63. The language they created is what we now call Old English. By the 10^th century, Old English became the official language of England.

Middle English is the name given to the English used from around the 12^th to the 16^th century. The French ruled England for 250 years during this period. 64. 正因为如此，法语对英语有很大影响。Many English words we use today come from French.

Modern English began during the Renaissance in the 16^th century. Because of this, Modern English includes many Latin and Greek words. However, this is not the end of the changes in the English language. 65. It is certain that this process will continue, and people will keep inventing new words and new ways of saying things.
