English is not a pure language- it developed from a mixture of languages over time. England was invaded by the Saxons and Vikings, who brought their languages, then the Normans came, bringing French and Latin, and these languages all merged to create English, so some rules come from the different languages, which means that there are a lot of exceptions.
