Answer:

An influence was that people moved that our language changed as people moved. It was also influenced by people being interested in a simpler alphabet that changed from Old to Middle and now our current Modern English. In Old English, the word order did not matter as much as it does now and there are still different ways you can phase a sentence just not as much as in Old English. Middle English has the same order as Modern English.

This is what I put, and it is not graded yet but is most likely correct DO NOT PUT DOWN THE EXACT ANSWER change it up.

Answer:

Old English: The word order and the sentence structure were rather free. Middle English: Middle English has the same sentence structure as the Modern English (Subject-verb-object). Modern English: Modern English follows the subject-verb-object sentence structure.
