In the course of time, English somewhat lost most of grammartical gender and inflection. Does that make English speakers particularly feel difficult about learning other european languages? Also, how do English speakers feel about those 'special features'?
I happened to come across the rules of German grammar and how they are so difficult! Always in my mind was the thought that German is way similar to English(same germanic family) and how it would be much easier than other ever verb-changing french and spanish and etc. it wasn't really. Noun changes(5 plural forms), verbs change, of course, and abjective, pronoun and even the articles change too. Compared to that, English seems quite out of a different kind.
I think I Finally understand what it means to study grammar for a year or so.
