English is not directly descended from French, but it is heavily influenced by it. French is a romance language, meaning is is a direct descendent of Latin, the language of ancient Rome. English, on the other hand is a Germanic language, related to German, Dutch, and the Scandinavian languages. In 1066, a Norman French army invaded and conquered England. Over the next few centuries, the Old English spoken by the lower class was heavily influenced by the French-speaking rulers. As much as 60% of modern English vocabulary is traced to this French influence. However, the structure of English remained Germanic.
Old English ( formerly known as Anglo-Saxon ), is a highly inflected Germanic language. Its descendant, Modern English, is a relatively uninflected Germanic language enjoying a great deal of additional vocabulary and grammar borrowed from Norman French.
It's not so much that English is a great language, but more of the fact that the English was the last great empire of the world before the world was divided more into countries than empires. Had the English not beat Napolean, we could very well all be speaking French at this very moment because they would have been the last empire to rule. This is why English is used so widely today. As you can guess, a lot of people in foreign countries do not even want to be required to learn English. It just comes from history.
Some problems include poor pronunciation, poor spelling, poor communication, lack of confidence, poor grammar, accent and fluency. Students should take the time to practice regularly and master the basic English first.
Legal English relies on Latin for much of its specialized vocabulary.
There are several words that mean powerful in the English vocabulary. Some of them include mighty, muscular, strong, formidable and so much more.
Yes, particularly if you learn something like French, Latin, or a Germanic language. Really, any language that has had extensive contact with English is good to learn if you're doing it for expanding your vocabulary--you won't so much learn new words as be able to recognize words and correctly place their meaning, though. The best thing to do to expand your English vocabulary is to read in English. denotation; connotation
In Shakespeare's time and place? English. Pretty much the same as we do now, albeit much of his vocabulary is now obsolete. Shakespeare's works are difficult to understand more because they are written in verse than that they are written in a different language.
Ten rupees comes out to about 0.14 pounds (English money).
Many English words came from Latin like many other languages use older languages for their own. Much of English that comes from Latin comes from French, which even older than English, and heavily based on Latin.
Yes. Excuse the simple answer, but there really is not much more to it.
The English language changed much more in vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation from 1616 to 1890 than it has changed from 1890 to 2009.

Shakespeare played a major role in changing English theatre, drama and also English language. Shakespeare himself wrote with a vocabulary of roughly 17,000 words. He is well known for giving over 3000 words to the English language because he was the first author to write them down. Except for the writers of the Bible, Shakespeare is the most frequently quoted writer in English. By 1613, Shakespeare had helped to create a new grammar and a much wider vocabulary for the early form of modern English. With his genius for poetic technique, he vastly broadened range of the English language
I will write my answer in formal. To write in formal English you must be prepared to commit yourself with a large and rather expanded vocabulary. To further understand, memorize a deal of complex words that you may have never heard of, this will only further develop your vocabulary and benefit you, perhaps by sounding of a higher intelligent standard. In laymen's terms you will sound that of a higher degree of education. To conclude my transitory answer of which directly relates to the question you have asked, you have to expand on your linguistics and vocabulary or use words that you do no use very much. Not that hard... Im only 14
