How did ‘old English’ develop into present english?
In: Culture
Language evolves over time. It doesn’t just become a new language out of nowhere. (Not usually, anyway) The rules of grammar and vocabulary changed. New words were used; older ones stopped being used. We found ways of expressing things that were better or just different. We misused words until they stuck. We dropped some letters. We changed some spellings. Before you know it, the language looks very different.
