English grammar:

English grammar is based on Germanic etymology. Although some scholars in18th century and19th century tried to apply French and ancient Latin grammar to English, they failed. Compared with all other Indo-European languages, English has less complicated inflections and almost lost all the yin-yang changes.

Basically, apart from personal pronouns, English has lost the distinction between sex and case, and it emphasizes the relatively fixed order of words, which means that English is developing in the direction of analytical language (for example, a cat's tail can be written as cat's tail instead of cat's tail, where the cat directly uses the root prototype without sticking cat's with case).

The basic word order of English is SVO, and it is basically impossible to change the word order at will, except in a few poems; On the other hand, sometimes English uses the word order of OSV.
