English is a West Germanic language spoken originally in England, and is now the most widely used language in the world. There are main four important components in this language. The components of English language are phonology (sounds), morphology (word structure), syntax (sentence structure) and semantics (meaning).
The essence of English language is simplicity. Simplicity in writing, reading and speaking is the most required element for proper conveyance of messages. The higher the English learning becomes, the more we will learn to use coherent language that gives clarity to even complicated thoughts.
Because English is so widely spoken, it has often been referred to as a "world language", the lingua franca of the modern era, and while it is not an official language in most countries, it is currently the language most often taught as a foreign language. Some linguists believe that it is no longer the exclusive cultural property of "native English speakers", but is rather a language that is absorbing aspects of cultures worldwide as it continues to grow.
