• Until the 14th century English was only spoken and not written: 

- a lot of conjugations were lost, a complex language changed into a relatively simple language 

- many French words gradually entered the language. Now about 40% are loanwords from the French language 

• Stories, romances, ballads from French origin were taken over in literature
