30、 and suffixes (后缀), we can turn a statement into a question, state whether an action has taken place or is soon to take place, and perform many other word tricks to convey different meanings. However, the question which many language experts cant understand and explain iswho created grammar?Some rec
31、ent languages evolved due to the Atlantic slave trade. Since the slaves didnt know each others languages, they developed a make-shift language called a pidgin. Pidgins are strings of words copied from the language of the landowners. They have little in the way of grammar, and speakers need to use to
32、o many words to make their meaning understood.

So the original pidgin was greatly improved.Most experts believe that many of the languages were pidgins at first. They were initially used in different groups of people without standardization and gradua
37、lly evolved into a widely accepted system. The English past tense“ed” ending may have evolved from the verb “do”. “It ended” may once have been “It end-did”. It seems that children have grammatical machinery in their brains. Their minds can serve to create logical and complex structures, even when t
