NE none, never, neither are traces of such forms

    What can you say about the strong verbs?
    

A system of strong verbs I developed as the result of vowel alternation (ablaut), and a unique way of forming the past tense using dental suffix for weak verbs (ealdian - ealdode to grow old) was created. The number of strong verbs in Germanic is steadily being reduced,

    Define what is ‘a pronoun’
    

A pronoun is a word that stands in for a noun, often to avoid the need to repeat the same noun over and over. Like nouns, pronouns can refer to people, things, concepts, and places. Most senten
ces contain at least one noun or pronoun.

    What can you say about weak verbs? How many classes did the weak verbs have?
    

Weak verbs, their past tense and Participle II were made by adding the-dental suffix -t- or -d- to the root morpheme. They are divided into three classes- depending on the ending of the infinitive, the sonority of the suffix and the sounds preceding the suffix.
Class I weak verbs have an infinitive ending in -an or -rian. Class II weak verbs have an infinitive ending in -ian (except -rian, which is Class I). Class III weak verbs are more unpredictable, and often combine features of the first two weak classes.

    Describe the Anglo-Saxon conquest of Britain. To your mind was it a step forward in the development of Britain or a step back?
    

The Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain is the process which changed the language and culture of most of what became England from Romano-British to Germanic. The Germanic-speakers in Britain, themselves of diverse origins, eventually developed a common cultural identity as Anglo-Saxons. This process principally occurred from the mid-fifth to early seventh centuries, following the end of Roman rule in Britain around the year 410. The settlement was followed by the establishment of the Heptarchy, Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in the south and east of Britain, later followed by the rest of modern England, and the south-east of modern Scotland.[1]
