I'm going to suggest that the question is too broad. Many, many things influenced and changed English over the centuries, and it continues today. English is a living thing, growing and changing by the day.

yes there are, here are some key events:

  • William the conquerer invaded, (french words)
  • William Caxtons printing press (inflection and syntax)
  • Tv/Radio/Computer/Mobile phone speak

I hope this helped a bit :-)

In standard English, the words of a sentence have always run together the way syllables run together in a word, so that the phrases "grey day" and "grade A" are pronounced exactly alike, as are the phrases "too wise" and "two eyes." In the same way, "be on duty" is pronounced like "beyond ootie."

Lately, under pressure from the media and other influences, people commonly insert an unwritten consonant into their speech, called the glottal stop, which interrupts the flow. This is stilted, of course. It makes us tongue-tied, and leads to barbarous utterances like "thuh ocean" instead of "thee yoshun," or "a other" instead of "another."

A Germanic European language spoken in most areas historically part of the British empire. It was first spoken by Germanic tribes in Southern Scandinavia and since then has been influenced by Danish, Anglo-Norman, Old French, Modern French, Latin, Greek, and lately other languages. It has a simple Germanic grammar that follows a lot of Latin rules.
