  The development (发展) of the English language falls into three reasonable different periods. Old English lasted from about 450A. D. when the first Germanic tribes (部落) began to settle in England until about 1100. Middle English extended from about 1100 to about 1475. And Modern English began about 1475 and has lasted to the present time. Of course the breaks were not as sudden and definite (确定) as these dates suggest. There has never been a year when the language was not changing. In spite of that the traits of the three periods are so different that a man who knows both Old and Modern English well will find a great deal of difficulty reading some of the Middle English writings without additional (另外的) study in the important aspects (方面) of the language.
