Abstract
As English language developed from the times of Old English (450-1100), into Middle English (1100-1500), and then to Modern English (1500-present), several grammatical and morphological changes followed the development of the language. The language advanced from the free word order in the Old English times to the fixed word order in the Modern English. Old English had the SOV pattern as the base word order with the SVO as the dominant order in main clauses. In the Middle English the situation was a bit different with the SVO order posing as the base word order. As the Modern English went through a process of standardization, the base word order remained SVO with and occasional appearance of OSV. This paper discusses not only the base word order of all three eras of development of English language but the historical evolution of the people and the language in general.
